Finding effective variables in marriage success has always been the considered by counselors and psychotherapists. Relational ethics refers to trust, justice, loyalty, responsibility and merit in relationships and affects the fairness of relationships. Relational ethics has two vertical (Ethics in the family of origin) and horizontal (Ethics between partners) dimensions. The aim of the present study was to determine relational ethics as a predictor of success and failure of women's marriage. The studied population of the current research was women following divorce procedure and normal women in Ahvaz city. The research sample consisted of 150 women following divorce and 150 normal women whom were selected by available sampling method. The participants completed the relational ethics scale and demographic information questionnaire created by the researcher. In this research, Discriminant analysis was used to analyze the data. The results showed that the linear combination of the components of relational ethics in the family of origin and the components of relational ethics in marital relationships were strong predictor of the success and failure of women's marriages, and the discriminant analysis method showed that the components of trust and justice, loyalty and entitlement in family of origin and the components of trust and justice and loyalty in marital relationships discriminahted success and failure of marriage individually. However, the component of entitlement in marital relationships could not discriminate success and failure of marriage individually. Horizontal relational ethics has a stronger predictive power than vertical relational ethics; therefore, it can be concluded that relational ethics has a decisive role in predicting family functions and the durability of marital relations. Therefore, considering the effect of relational ethics, it is suggested that the mentioned variable be taken into consideration in the stability of marriage.

The research method was experimental with pre-test, and post-test design with control and follow-up groups. The statistical population included all women who filed for a divorce (with a history of early marriage) in Ardabil city in 2020. The participants were selected using the convenience sampling method and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups; they participated in each treatment for eight sessions of 90 minutes once a week. The interpersonal forgiveness scale (IF-25) and Ryff psychological well-being scale (1989) was used to collect data. Data were then analyzed using the repeated measures analysis of variance and Bonferroni post hoc test. The findings showed that Affective Reconstructive and Emotional-Focused therapy were effective in increasing forgiveness and psychological well-being in women who filed for a divorce, but the effectiveness of Affective Reconstructive therapy was significantly higher than Emotional-focused therapy. Therefore, in terms of the low level of forgiveness and psychological well-being in women who filed for a divorce, Affective Reconstructive, and Emotional-Focused therapies can use to improve forgiveness and psychological well-being in women who filed for a divorce

The current study compared the ffectiveness of schema-based couple therapy and cognitive behavioral couple therapy on the main maladaptive schemas of Kermanshah divorce seeking women. The current study had a semi-experimental with pre-test-post-test design and control group. The statistical population consists of Kermanshah city residents who visited counseling services in the second half of 1400 and were divorcing. 45 individuals who voluntarily signed up to take part in this course were chosen at random and divided into two experimental and control groups depending on the requirements for entering and leaving the study. The research instrument featured Young's Primary Maladaptive Schemas Questionnaire (YSQ-SF). The interventions of the two groups were carried out in groups for 8 sessions of 90 minutes and twice a week. Data were analyzed with SPSS-26 software and statistical tests of univariate analysis of covariance and Benferoni post hoc test with a probability value of 0.05. The results showed that schema-based couple therapy and cognitive-behavioral couple therapy were significantly effective on the initial incompatible schemas of women applying for divorce compared to the control group (P<0.05). Also, no significant difference was observed between the two treatments (P=1). According to the research results, it can be said that these treatment methods can be used in counseling and family psychotherapy environments.

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.

Marital distress and increasing tendency towards divorce causes extreme harm for the children of divorce, divorcees, families and the entire society. Evaluating effective ways of encountering divorce is thus of paramount importance. The present study aimed to examine the effectiveness of family therapy based on Bowen’s family system theory and logo therapy in marital life quality (marital adjustment) and tendency for divorce among divorce seeking clients. The statistical population included divorce applicants referring to Sanandaj counseling centers in Fall and Winter of 1396. 36 male and female applicants were randomly selected and assigned to experimental and control groups (12 each). The Divorce Tendency Questionnaire (DTQ) and the Revised Dyadic Adjustment Scale (RDAS) were used to gather the data. Each group received 8 one- hour weekly family therapy training based on the Bowen’s family systems and logo therapy. Repeated measures tests showed that both logo therapy and Bowen’s family systems could significantly enhance dyadic adjustment level and its components (agreement, satisfaction, and dyadic coherence) and reduce tendency towards divorce. Also, results of the BONFERRONI post hoc test showed that family therapy based on logo therapy was more effective in reducing divorce tendency and Bowen’s family systems theory was more effective in increasing dyadic adjustment.

Divorce is one of the most stressful events in children and parents' life. Divorce is a major change and reorganization of life that influences children`s adjustment over time. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of Children of Divorce Intervention Program (COPID) on decreasing internalized and externalized problems in children. In this experimental research, with pre-test post-tests with control group, twenty five 10-12 years old children from divorced families in Kashmar were selected as sample. For 13 children in experimental group 15 sessions of CODIP was administrated in 3 days per week and 5 consecutive weeks, but 12 children in control group received no program. Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) was the research measurement tool. Results showed that CODIP has significant effect on decreasing externalized problems; but no significant effect on internalized problems in children from divorced families. Since children of divorced parents are more at risk of behavior problems, attention to group programs and teaching problem solving skills is important for this children and empowering them in life. In addition to reducing some problems, the skills that were taught are in such a way children and their parents can easily implement them in the real life and benefit from their positive effects.

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.
