From among them, 384 people(192 couples) were selected as the sample size from different areas of the city, according to Morgan's table. Data were collected using emotional divorce questionnaires of Guttman (1999), the satisfaction of basic psychological needs of Guardia, Desi and Ryan (2000), the differentiation level of Drake(2011) and the perception of self-sacrificing behavior of the spouse(PSBM) of Harper and Figures(2008). The results of the data using Pearson correlation statistical tests and structural equations showed: the indirect effect of the level of differentiation on emotional divorce through the perceptions of selfless behaviors of the spouse is equal to -0.111, the indirect effect of satisfying basic needs on emotional divorce through the perceptions of selfless behaviors Wife is equal to -0.197, also the direct effect of perceptions of selfless behaviors on emotional divorce is significant -0.362.
