The research method was causal–comparative and the population included all teachers (retired and non-retired) of Gonbade Kawus City , from among them 140 people were selected by simple random sampling method. The research instruments were comprised of General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28, Goldberg & Hiller, 1979), Marital Satisfaction Questionnaire (Otrich, 1989), and Life Style Questionnaire (Mosavar, 2003/1382s.c.).
