Background and Aim: If we consider the family as the center of mental health of the society and its main core, this base is not only a place to meet the material and spiritual, physical and mental needs of its members, but also a place where the most sincere human emotions and interactions between people are manifested. It is individual. Spouses' mental preoccupations and external stressful sources also weaken the relationship between couples and their emotional distance from each other. Divorce phenomenon does not happen in a moment, but is a process that takes place over time, with many complications and hidden and obvious points. Regarding the change of the spouses' internal attitude towards marriage, researches show that this change of attitude will upset the psychological and emotional balance of the spouses and will cause instability in the family. Communication patterns of couples and how they interact emotionally and psychologically with each other, the attachment style of each of the spouses, which is derived from the important events of their early childhood, as well as the existence of incorrect basic beliefs and schemes in the early life of people. The variables that predict a married person's desire to divorce and his avoidance of secure attachment to his wife. Several factors govern this connection and relationship pattern between couples; the attachment style that couples have learned in their family of origin and their expectations of how to secure this attachment from their spouse are effective in the strength of their relationship. Also, the couples' perception of the relationship and the cognitive distortions involved in it have an effect on the expectations of the marriage contract and the type of their interaction, and the sense of loss, abandonment and lack of emotional security can predict the desire for divorce in couples, which in turn affects the strength of the family and society. It will have a bad effect. In order to better understand and identify the factors that lead to the desire to break up and divorce in married people, it is necessary to carry out special research. Many researches have been done in the field of divorce and the damages caused by it, and solutions and suggestions have been presented to improve the relationship between spouses, reduce damages or prevent the occurrence of separation, and predict the factors involved in it, but the integration of several factors and a wider investigation of the issue is necessary. It seems Marriage and the interaction of couples is also one of the most important situations in which schemas show themselves, the incompatible nature of schemas and the desire for their survival makes people in married life behave in such a way that their schemas are approved; Even if their initial impressions are incorrect. As a result of these processes, misunderstandings and distorted attitudes, false assumptions and unrealistic goals appear in the relationship between spouses. Since there is little information about predicting the desire to divorce in married people based on the adult attachment style, the couple's communication pattern, and the abandonment schema, therefore, the present study aims to investigate the desire to divorce based on the couple's communication patterns, attachment style Adult and abandonment schema was done.
