The purpose of this research is to determine the predictive role of the dark Triad of personality traits and couples' communication patterns in marriage instability. This study is of correlational type and the statistical population was couples living in Tehran and Karaj cities. 246 people were selected by available sampling method, and the Marital Instability Index (MII), short form of the dark triad scale (SD3) and communication patterns questionnaire (CPQ) were administered. The data were analyzed using the stepwise multiple regression method. The findings showed that the variable of marriage instability has a negative and significant relationship with narcissistic personality traits and a positive and significant relationship with antisocial personality traits and has no significant relationship between marital instability and Machiavellian personality traits. Similarly, the variable of marriage instability shows a negative and significant relationship with the variable of mutual constructive communication and with other variables of withdrawal/demand, demanding man/withdrawn woman, demanding woman/withdrawn man and mutual avoidance, and a positive and significant relationship with other variables of communication patterns. Also, the three variables of constructive communication, mutual avoidance and demanding woman/withdrawn man predict the instability of marriage. In addition, there is a negative and significant relationship between the duration of marriage and the instability of marriage. From this research, it can be concluded that considering the role of communication patterns in marriage instability, marriage instability can be reduced by teaching them to couples.

The extramarital relationships damage the emotional security and trust of the couple, and victims of betrayal experience strong negative emotions in this regard. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of extramarital relationship treatment on marital instability and family functioning in couples.   

The design of the semi-experimental research was pre-test-post-test with a control group. The statistical population included all couples with extramarital relationships who referred to Khomeinishahr city counseling centers in the year 2021. Sixteen couples were selected as a sample through purposive sampling method and were randomly divided into an experimental group (8 couples) and a control group (8 couples). The intervention group underwent 90-minute extramarital relationship treatment in 11 sessions and in a group once a week, but no action was taken in the case of the control group. The Edward, Johnson and Alan Booth's Marital Instability Questionnaire (1987) and Epstein, Baldwin and Bishop's Family Functioning Questionnaire (1950) were applied to them. Data analysis was done with descriptive tests (mean and standard deviation) and covariance analysis using SPSS version 23 software. P value less than 0.05 was considered as significant.

The results of covariance analysis indicated that the treatment based on reducing extramarital relationships had an effect on marital instability (F= 49.24) and family functioning (F= 17.58) in couples (P<0.001). The amount of this effect in the marriage instability variable based on the square of the eta coefficient was 0.57 and in the family function variable it was 0.31.

According to the results of this research, the treatment of extramarital relationships can be used to reduce the problems of couples and increase the stability of their lives.

The aim of this study was to determine the moderating role of orientation in men's sexual relationship with marital instability. The method of the present study is correlational. The statistical population of the study was men living in Tehran who had lived together for at least one year. Thus, 150 people were selected by available sampling method from different parts of Tehran by referring to public places and distributing a questionnaire in cyberspace. Measurement tools in this study included MII Marriage Instability Questionnaire, BSRI Gender Maps and SRS Sexual Orientation. The results showed that sexual orientation has a moderating role in the relationship between gender roles and marital instability. High levels of participatory sexual orientation reduce marital instability. The high exchange rate of sexual intercourse increases the instability of marriage in men. Also, in the direction of expectation in sexual intercourse, its increase leads to an increase in marital instability in men. In men with high expectations of exchange, exchange, and expectation in sex, increased gender roles reduce instability; But in men with low participatory and exchange orientations, increased gender roles do not change the degree of marital instability.

The purpose of this study was to "investigate the relationship between mental health, sexual self-concept and the role of patterns of communication with instability in marriage." The method of this research was correlation. The statistical population of this study was couples referring to counseling and family counseling centers in Tehran. To this end, 260 people were selected as available. The instruments used in this study included Edwards Marriage Instability Questionnaire, Christensen & Salavian Communication Patterns (CPQ), Goldenberg Mental Health (GHQ), and Snellchr('39')s Sexual Self-Concept (MSSCQ). Structural equation modeling (factor analysis and path analysis) was used to analyze the data using AMOS18 and SPSS22 software. According to research findings, mental health, sexual self-concept and intermediary role of communication patterns predict the instability of marriage. Mental health indirectly through constructive communication pattern is a significant predictor of instability in marriage. Among its components, anxiety and insomnia have a positive and significant correlation with the criterion variable. As well as expected / discarded and avoidable patterns (inefficient) have a positive and significant correlation, and the constructive coupling pattern has had a negative correlation with the instability of marriage. The gender variable through the total path coefficient can predict the instability of marriage and its components are negatively correlated with the instability of marriage.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of marital instability, catastrophes, and adventure in predicting suicidal thought for abandoned addicts.

Current study aimed to predict Marital instability based on Identity styles and Emotion regulation skills among married women in Qouchan.
331 female Teachers were selected using single-stage cluster random sampling and were asked to answer the Identity Style Questionnaires (ISI-6G), Emotion Regulation Skill Questionnaires (ERSQ) and Marital Instability Index (MII). Data were analyzed using, Pearson product moment correlation, and Stepwise regression methods.
Findings: results showed that there is significant negative correlation between informative identity style (r= -0.40), normative identity style (r= -0.30), and emotion regulation skill (r= -0.35) with marital instability. Also the positive relationship between diffused-avoidant identity Style (r= 0.33) and marital instability was statistically significant. Results also showed that information identity, diffused-avoidant identity, normative identity, and emotion regulation skills significantly predict marital instability. According to the findings, Identity styles played the greatest role in predicting the criterion variable. Therefore, we can conclude that, if married female teachers have a comprehensive self-understanding with high abilities on their emotion regulation, their marriage would be more stable.
