This study employed a quantitative approach. Data were collected from a sample of 250 young married individuals, aged 20 to 40 years old with a marriage age of 1 to 10 years, using a self-administered questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and Simple Linear Regression. The findings reveal a significant positive effect of financial well-being on marital satisfaction. In conclusion, a favourable perception of financial wellbeing among young married individuals is more likely to increase their marital satisfaction. Thus, the findings propose guidance to tackle financial problems and provide fresh insights to the relevant parties in exploring the plausible solution to overcome financial and divorce problems among young married couples and promote family harmonization 2023, World Scientific and Engineering Academy and Society.
