A correlative statistical method was used and statistical population included all married employees (750 people) working at Medical Science University of Kermanshah. The sample consisted of 160 married employees randomly selected and they were asked to fill out a Marital Burnout Questionnaire (CBM), the Adult Attachment Inventory (AAI) and the way to deal with conflict Inventory (ROCI-2) questionnaires. Data analysis was performed by calculating the Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis. Results indicated that anxiety and insecure attachment style and determined and expert conflict resolution style can have positive relations.
