The study sample consisted of (665) married teachers. To achieve the objective of the study, the following inventories have been used: First, (Qasim, 2015) scale of marital adjustment. Second, the dimension of self-acceptance from (Carol Ryff) scale of psychological happiness. Third, (Al-Otaibi, 2016) scale of emotional sensitivity. The results showed high levels of marital adjustment and self-acceptance while showing a moderate level of emotional sensitivity. The results also showed no statistically significant differences among marital adjustment, self-acceptance, and emotional sensitivity attributed to the years of marriage variable. The calculations of correlations among variables showed a positive significant relationship between marital adjustment, self-acceptance, and emotional sensitivity. Therefore, regression analysis has been conducted and showed that marital adjustment could be predicted by self-acceptance. This result clarified the direct impact of self-acceptance on the acceptance of others. Therefore, the more accepting is an individual of people around him, the more sound and successful his relation with them will become.
