Through this research, proper understanding of marital happiness among marriedvisually disabled persons could be obtained hence, serving as the guideline of policy making to ensurewell-being in such population. In this sense, the study of marital happiness among such population is alsocrucial to expand the plethora of knowledge in the field of positive psychology
