The research design of this study is quasi-experimental with pre-test-post-test and control sample. For this purpose, a number of (30) couples with marital conflict were identified and selected by available sampling method. Of these, 15 people were randomly assigned to the experimental group and 15 to the control group. In order to collect data, Adamer and Jones Marital Commitment Questionnaire and Pines Marital Exhaustion Questionnaire were used. Also, the training package of emotion-oriented couple therapy was applied to the experimental group during 8 two-hour therapy sessions. The results of covariance analysis showed that there is a significant difference between the couples of the experimental group and the experimental group. Based on the findings of this research, it can be concluded that emotion-oriented couple therapy interventions have increased marital commitment and reduced marital exhaustion of couples.

Abstract
The present research aimed to model the structural equations of marital burnout based on early maladaptive schemas, marital expectations, and emotional information processing, with the mediating role of sexual self-concept in women seeking divorce in  Shiraz. The present research was a correlational descriptive study of the structural equation modeling type. The statistical population of this research consisted of all women seeking divorce who were referred to family courts in the year 1402. From the statistical population, 320 individuals were selected using a multi-stage random sampling method. The research tools included the Pines Marital Burnout Questionnaire (1996), the Young Schema Questionnaire (2003), the Hope and Colleagues Marital Expectations Questionnaire (1389), the Baker Emotional Information Processing Questionnaire (2007), and the Snell Sexual Self-Concept Questionnaire (1995). The collected data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results obtained from the direct relationships of the research variables indicated that there is a positive and significant relationship between early maladaptive schemas, marital expectations, and emotional information processing with marital burnout. Additionally, early maladaptive schemas, marital expectations, and emotional information processing have a positive and significant indirect effect on marital burnout through sexual self-concept. Based on the findings of the research, it can be concluded that sexual self-concept, as a mediating variable, was able to explain the relationship between early maladaptive schemas, marital expectations, and emotional information processing.

Abstract
The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) on psychological resilience and marital burnout in couples experiencing psychological distress related to socioeconomic uncertainty. This research was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest–posttest design and a control group. The study population included couples experiencing psychological distress related to socioeconomic uncertainty in 2026. Among them, 30 couples were selected using convenience sampling and randomly assigned to an experimental group (15 couples) and a control group (15 couples). The inclusion criterion was scoring above the cutoff point on the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10). The experimental group received 8 sessions of 90-minute Emotion-Focused Therapy, while the control group received no intervention. The research instruments included the Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) and the Couple Burnout Measure (CBM). Data were analyzed using univariate and multivariate analysis of covariance (ANCOVA/MANCOVA). The results showed that Emotion-Focused Therapy significantly increased psychological resilience and significantly reduced marital burnout in the experimental group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). The findings suggest that Emotion-Focused Therapy, through enhancing emotion regulation, restructuring maladaptive interaction patterns, and strengthening emotional security between partners, can mitigate the adverse effects of socioeconomic uncertainty. Overall, Emotion-Focused Therapy is an effective intervention for improving psychological resilience and reducing marital burnout in couples experiencing psychological distress related to socioeconomic uncertainty, and it is recommended for use in counseling and mental health services for couples exposed to chronic socioeconomic stressors.
