The statistical population of the present study consists of all married female primary school teachers in Kermanshah in 2022.

This study attempts to show the different aspects of the impact of the Corona crisis on women's quality of life. The hypothetical basis of the research is the theoretical literature on quality of life, social support, gender inequality and role system. The research hypotheses were tested using standard questionnaires of quality of life, Enrich's marital satisfaction, Phillips social support, and a researcher-made questionnaire on role weighting and social distance. The research data were collected by survey method and an electronic questionnaire available with the participation of 397 married women in Tehran and analyzed by Spss and Amos software. The results show that the Corona epidemic does not change the lives of men and women in the same way, and women are usually more vulnerable to the consequences of the virus. Women have the opportunity to enjoy a higher quality of life in the face of Corona through factors such as benefiting from the social support network, marital satisfaction, and presence in virtual social networks, despite the stress and pressure caused by the role.

The present study was a correlation with the structural equation model approach. From the statistical population of women referring to psychological clinics and counseling centers, 440 people were selected as a sample using a cluster random method. Guttman (1994) Alexithymia Scale, Bagby et al. (1994) Emotional Dysfunction, Pollard et al. (1998) and Enrich (1989) Marital Satisfaction Scale were used to collect data. Structural equation model was used to analyze the data. The results showed that all the indicators of model fit with the data have acceptable values. Emotional malaise (p≤0.01 and t = 4.773) directly and interpersonal forgiveness (p≤0.01 and t = 8.06) and marital satisfaction (p≤0.01 and t = 9.30) Inversely and meaningfully, it can predict emotional divorce. The results of the bootstrap test also showed that marital satisfaction has a significant mediating role in the relationship between emotional malaise and interpersonal forgiveness with emotional divorce. In general, it can be said that reducing the Alexithymia of women should pay attention to the components of emotional distress and marital dissatisfaction as accelerating factors of Alexithymia and the component of interpersonal forgiveness as a factor that reduces Alexithymia between couples.

Important factors which have been noted and have a great impact on marital life are resilience and self-differentiation. This study aims to predict marital satisfaction in married women based on resilience and self-differentiation. The methodology of study is descriptive correlational type, and its statistic population includes all women who refereed to Sorosh, Sajad, Zaeem and Tarannom Zendegi counseling centers in the fall of 2014 in Tehran. 200 women who had inclusion criteria to refer to this center selected randomly using sampling techniques and answered to Asode, Khalili and Lavasani Marital Satisfaction Inventory (2010), Skowron & Schmitt Differentiation of Self Inventory (2003) and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (2003). Multiple regression is applied to analyze the data. Results: The results showed that resilience (β=0.320, P<0.05) and self-differentiation (β=0.092, P<0.05) are the predictors of marital satisfaction. Conclusion: Resilience and self-differentiation are important personal factors that can affect marital satisfaction in women. So, this may cause women to involve in lower physical and mental health and explain gender differences in this domain. However, more studies are essential to validate these results.
