Abstract
Pre-marital relationships are common in today’s society in which both genders invest emotionally and get committed with each other which affect their quality of life. This relationship is associated with love, intimating relations and sexual arousal between two opposite genders. Researchers also suggest that accumulating positive moments together helps couple build emotional capital which buffers them from harmful consequences of relationship difficulties. Studies showed that the sex before marriage is normal and also engaging in sexual behaviors become common in Pakistan now these days. So, the present research is interested to show the emotional investment, commitment and quality of life in pre-marital relationships. For the research purpose researchers conducted research on 150 participants by using Google docs due to this pandemic situation and used correlation research method. The empirical findings suggest that male demands female to engage in sexual relationships if they want to marry each other that’s why most of the male partners convince their female partner to have sex as a commitment of marriage. Satisfied relationships promote positivity where as non-satisfied relationships promote negativity in relationship which also affect the academic achievement and promote anxiety depression and low self-esteem, whereas care, happiness and empathy in the relationship have positive effect on mental health. Findings also showed that females have more negative mental health in their relationship. Pearson product moment correlation is used to study the relationship between variables and regression analysis is also used.
