Abstract
Background: Marriage is one of the oldest human relationships that reflects human personality and plays a prominent role in the direction of human life.
Aims: The present study aimed to provide a model of structural equations in relation to the tendency to divorce with communication skills and the health of the main family with the mediating role of marital intimacy and conflict between couples in Kermanshah.
 Method: The statistical population of this study is all couples in Kermanshah and the sampling method is cluster. Among the eight municipal districts, District 8 was selected and 200 couples were selected as sample members. The tools used were the Kenzas Conflict Scale (1985), Walker and Thompson's Marital Intimacy (193), The Health of the Homeostat et al. (1985), Quinn Dam's Communication Skills (2001), Rosolt's Divorce Tendency (1986). IBM AMOS 24 software was used to analyze the data.
Results: The health of the main family through marital conflicts and marital intimacy is related to the tendency to divorce (P <0.05). Communication skills through marital conflicts and marital intimacy are also associated with the tendency to divorce (P <0.05) and each of the variables of marital conflicts and marital intimacy is directly related to divorce (P <0.05).
Conclusions: Intimate and intimate marital relationship is based on considering the spouse in any situation. When couples reduce high communication skills, high intimacy, and low levels of conflict, they will certainly experience a lower tendency to divorce.
