As a human, sophisticated, elegant and dynamic relationship, marriage has been one of the fundamental issues of human life and human society throughout history. The first buds of relationships between human beings emerge in the privacy of the family. Relationships within the family are of paramount importance and sensitivity and the how of these relationships play an important role in shaping social attitudes and feedback, preparation and development of social skills of family members. In today's society, human life undergoes quick and dramatic changes in all aspects.

The results showed that there is no significant relationship between locus of control and marital conflict among students, indicating that the locus of control cannot predict marital conflicts among students. Although the mean of marital conflict among students with external locus of control was greater than the mean of marital conflict among students with internal locus of control, this difference is not significant.

Conclusion
The findings can confirm the fact that people can control their life events, assume greater responsibility for their life, have more confidence in their capabilities to control their lives, as a result of having of certain beliefs about their lives. It can also be concluded that there is a significant relationship between self-efficacy and marital conflict, probably because self-efficacy is correlated with self-control and a sense of self-control plays an important role in coping with the stressors in life. Thus, it may be the case that people feel they can solve marital problems, through enhancing their self-efficacy beliefs.
