I. INTRODUCTION
The importance of forming a solid and meaningful relationship during early adults is difficult to say. However, the formation of a romantic relationship is seen as a method of formation to bean adult [1]. Early adults who are able to create and maintain an intimate relationship positively will be more satisfied with life and they are able to secure their life towards a better future [2].
According to psychological adjustments, romantic relationship experience in young adults can set the basis for future relationships and the quality of caring for their future children will improve when they enter the life of parenthood [3]. Previous studies often conceptualize the quality of romance as a global construction [4]. However, the process of formulating some aspects of functionality in romantic relationships such as problem-solving skills, love, and managing conflict can provide more specific information about the two relationships and factors affecting this dimension.
