Background: Couples who are able to compromise again after applying for divorce may have a fragile relationship; therefore, it is necessary to increase the stability and satisfaction of the relationship by identifying the influencing factors.
Aim: the present qualitative study was conducted to investigate the factors affecting the marital stability and satisfaction of couples who compromise after asking for divorce.
Method: The research method was qualitative and phenomenological. The population included all couples who compromised after asking for divorce in Birjand City, and referred to Rah-e-No Counseling Center from 2017 to 2022. Based on the criteria already determined, 7 couples (14 people) were selected via purposive sampling and subjected to semi-structured interviews. It should be noted that the process of selecting samples continued up to theoretical saturation. The obtained data were analyzed using Colaizzi’s method and MAXQDA software. Data coding was done using an open, axial, and selective method.
Results: The analysis of participants’ experiences revealed 16 sub-themes and 5 main themes, including individual characteristics, interactive/communicative characteristics, family factors, socio-cultural factors and commitment to values.
Conclusions: Therefore, it can be concluded that a set of individual, interpersonal, and social factors influence the stability and satisfaction of couples who have compromised after applying for divorce.
