Nowadays remarriage has become a common form of marriage. Remarriage is a phenomenon which affects not only one couple, and one family, but also several couples and families based on the individual situation, and their roles. This study aimed to survey the individuals lived experience in remarriage after divorce. This research was a qualitative research which was done by the phenomenological method with descriptive approach. The participants were selected by purposive sampling method. A semi-structured profound interview was done with 12 people, including 7 women and 5 men. For analyzing the data, the Colizzi method was used. Eight main themes which are “Incentives for remarriage”, “criteria for choosing a new spouse”, “hope for a better life”, “friendly, and intimate life in remarriage”, “feeling of love and satisfaction”, “maturity in remarriage”, “challenges associated to remarriage”, and “re-divorce” were obtained. The results indicated that different aspects of individual’s remarriage are largely affected by their previous marriage. The person's prior marriage affects every step of the remarriage process, from deciding to do so and selecting a partner to how to handle disagreements and communicate during it. In fact, those who get remarried use their first marriage as a criterion and tend to steer clear of anything like their first union. Individuals in remarriage seek for a marriage which does not have the negative characteristics of the first marriage, and even has the ability to compensate for its defect.

Discrepancy between actual perceived self and what the individual considers as standard guidelines, can results in unpleasant mental and emotional outcomes. So it can affect the form and maintaining relation of couples and their life satisfaction. The aim of the present study was to examine the comparison of self-discrepancy among divorcing and non-divorcing individuals. A total of 239 volunteers (122 divorcing and 117 non-divorcing individuals), in Tehran, participated in this study. All participants were asked to complete Self-Discrepancy Index (SDI). The results showed that the divorcing individuals reported significantly higher on levels of self-discrepancy. The results also revealed that personal actual-ought self-discrepancy, personal actual-feared self-discrepancy, others actual-ought self-discrepancy, and others actual/ feared self-discrepancy were different in the two groups. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the distance between selves and realities can provide dissatisfaction in couples, and subsequently marital disruption can follow. In other words, each couple, based on certain patterns of self-discrepancy among aspects of selves, can experience different emotional consequences, so their conflict can create problems for them. The comparison between selves can affect marital satisfaction, so that it can lead to dissolution of marital relationship.

The family as the first and most important factor in child development has a major impact on the child's mental health and psychological problems. Evidences suggest that emotional security has a mediating role in the relationship between family functioning and child’s behavioral problems. The purpose of this study was to determine the mediatory role of child’s emotional security in the relations between family functioning and children’s behavioral problems. The sample consisted of 262 fifth and sixth graders of Tehran (117 girls and 145 boys) and their mothers who were selected according to cluster sampling method. The students completed the Security on Family Scale (SFS), the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale (FACES-III), and the mothers completed the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Results of the analysis showed that both dimension of family functioning (cohesion and adaptability) correlated with all emotional security dimensions, and they also could play a mediatory role in relation between family functioning and child’s behavioral problems. In fact, effective functioning of the family increases security and decreases preoccupation and disengagement. Through increasing security and decreasing insecurity family functioning can reduce child’s behavioral problems. With respect to the results of this study, teaching the basic functions of the family and their effects on children's emotional security seems useful in preventing problems between children and parents.
