The phenomenon of luxury consumption, driven by the expansion of consumption patterns and changes in cultural values in contemporary societies, has become one of the major challenges of family life. Increased attention to outward appearances, consumer competition, and emphasis on displaying material well-being have led many couples to face new pressures and tensions in economic decision-making, emotional relationships, and the management of shared life. The problem statement of this research focuses on how the growth of luxury consumption in today’s society can lead to damages in the structure of the family and marital relationships. The research method in this study is based on documentary and library analysis. To comprehensively examine the topic, various sources including books, scientific articles, and related research have been used. The collected data from these sources has been analyzed using a combined and analytical approach in order to identify common patterns, theoretical assumptions, and the relationships between cultural, economic, and family variables. The main objective of this research is to examine the causes of the expansion of luxury consumption in society and to analyze its consequences on married life. This objective includes exploring the cultural, media, economic, and psychological roots of this phenomenon as well as evaluating its effects on marital satisfaction, family conflicts, consumption patterns, and the mental health of couples. An effort has been made to provide an accurate picture of its impact on the family structure through a multidimensional analysis. The findings of the study show that luxury consumption is not merely a consumption pattern but a socio-cultural concept that plays a role in shaping expectations, family economic management, emotional relationships, and even the individual identity of couples. The results indicate that the expansion of this phenomenon is associated with increased economic pressure, reduced marital satisfaction, the formation of social comparisons, and weakened emotional intimacy between spouses. Based on the analyzed data, families are exposed to greater psychological strain and conflicts, and the continuation of this situation can affect the foundation of the family.
