The present study investigated the relationship between demographic characteristics and marital life skills of the young Iranian clients using descriptive-survey method in 2017. The studied population was all young married people in Shiraz. The sample included 384 individuals who were selected by cluster sampling method. Data was measured by a researcher-made questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results of descriptive statistics indicate that the participants benefit from desirable life skills. The inferential results showed that there was no significant difference between the life skills variables and gender, and marriage length and occupational status at the p value <0.05. On the other hand, there is a significant difference between the variables of age, education and life skills at the p value <0.05. Regarding the impact of the underlying variables of age and education, there is a direct relationship between the efficiency of life skills in married people and the three variables: age, education and experience. Since life skills raise selfawareness, it is likely to make individuals aware of their cognitive layers in the behavioral rightfulness or wrongfulness. As a matter of fact, life skill is a prerequisite for educating individuals and empowering them to employ them. These skills will result in both individual and social development.
