Abstract Introduction: The aim of the research was to provide a model for predicting the adjustment and quality of marital relationship based on early maladaptive schemas with mediating resilience. Method: The descriptive research method was correlation type with structural equation method. The statistical population included all married women who referred to Islamic counseling centers in Tehran in 2021-2022. Multi-stage random sampling method and statistical sample size based on Sample Power software, 350 people were considered. Measurement tools included Spanier's Dyadic Adjustment Scale (1976), Busby et al.'s Revision of the Dyadic Adjustment Scale (1995), Young's Early Maladaptive Schemas (1998) and Connor and Davidson's Resilience Scale (CD-RISC, 2003). Data analysis was done using T-test and path analysis and using SPSS and SmartPLS software. Findings: The findings showed that the presented model had good fit quality. Also, initial maladaptive schemas and resilience had a significant direct effect on marital adjustment and marital quality. On the other hand, primary maladaptive schemas (0.421) and domain components (self-management and dysfunctional performance (0.421), rejection and cut-off (0.423), reorientation (0.419), impaired limitations (0.420), callousness and inhibition (0.421)) had a significant indirect effect on the quality of marital relationships with a partial mediating role of resilience. Conclusion: Therefore, it can be concluded that based on the awareness, recognition and correction of the early maladaptive schemas in different fields, by increasing the level of resilience based on the mutual understanding of the needs of each of the spouses towards each other in the context of efficient marital relationship, the adjustment and quality of satisfactory marital relationship will be provided.
