This study sought to determine the commitment level of couples with long lasting marriages; the satisfaction level of married couples; the conflict resolution styles of the married couples in terms of avoiding, accommodating, compromising, collaborating, and competing; significant relationship between commitment and conflict resolution styles; significant relationship between satisfaction level and conflict resolution styles; significant relationship between commitment and satisfaction level; and which among commitment and conflict resolution styles is the main predictor of the satisfaction level of married couples with long lasting marriages.

The study made used of descriptive correlational research. Instruments used in the data gathering were the Rusbult Commitment Scale by Carly Rusbult (1998), Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument by Kenneth Thomas and Ralph Kilmann
(1974), and Burns Relationship Satisfaction Scale (BRSS) by David Burns (1993), and the participants were couples who were already married for 25 years or more.

Using Slovin's formula and purposive sampling technique, 400 participants were identified. The statistical measures employed were percentage and frequency, standard deviation, mean, and Chi-Square. Based on the findings, it was revealed that the married couples had a high level of commitment. The study also revealed that majority of the married couples commonly used avoiding conflict resolution style and the least common used was the competing. It was also revealed that the couples have a high level of satisfaction.

The two null hypotheses were accepted, meaning there was no significant relationship between commitment and conflict resolution styles, and between satisfaction level and conflict resolution styles. The alternative hypothesis was accepted, implying that there was a significant relationship between commitment and satisfaction level.
