Background & Objectives: Many marriages do not end with formal divorce; however, they instead continue in the lack of love and friendship. Emotional divorce can be considered a state in which couples do not enjoy being together because there is no intimacy. Considering the undeniable importance of the family institution in any society, it is essential to investigate the harms and conditions that individual experiences after divorce. Spiritual intelligence may affect emotional divorce. Furthermore, early maladaptive schemas in women seem to increase the odds of emotional divorce. Extramarital relationships, infidelity, and infidelity often occur due to fulfilling one's emotional needs through relationships outside marriage. Iranian society is in transition, and traditional rituals are still in place. Accordingly, despite many divorces, numerous couples, due to the conventional nature of their families, might prefer to continue to live in very poor quality to avoid the psychological pressure of divorce. Thus, this study aimed to model the relationship between spiritual intelligence and early maladaptive schemas on emotional divorce mediated by attitude toward extramarital relationships in women.
Methods: This was a descriptive–correlational study in which the relationship between variables was investigated in the form of path analysis. The study population consisted of all women referring to psychological centers in Ahvaz City, Iran, in 2019. Accordingly, 264 women were selected by the convenience sampling method and completed the following questionnaire. The study's inclusion criteria included the education attainment of at least a diploma and no history of psychosis. The exclusion criterion of the study was the failure to complete the questionnaire. The necessary data were gathered applying the Emotional Divorce Questionnaire (Gattman, 1994), Spiritual Intelligence Scale (Abdollahzadeh et al., 2008), Young Early Maladaptive Schema Questionnaire (Young, 1998), and Attitude to Extramarital Relationships Scale (Whatley, 2008). Data analysis was performed using Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling in SPSS and AMOS at the significance level of 0.05. 
Results: The present study results indicated that spiritual intelligence presented a negative and direct effect on emotional divorce (β=–0.53, p<0.001); attitude toward extramarital relationships provided a positive and direct effect on emotional divorce (β=0.30 and p<0.001). Spiritual intelligence indicated a negative and direct effect on attitude toward extramarital relationships (β=–0.46, p<0.001); however, early maladaptive schemas presented a positive and direct effect on attitude toward extramarital relationships (β=0.40 and p<0.001). Furthermore, the indirect effect of spiritual intelligence on emotional divorce with the mediating role of attitudes toward extramarital relationships was measured as –0.16 (p<0.001). The indirect effect of early maladaptive schemas on emotional divorce with the mediating role of attitudes toward extramarital relationships equaled 0.12 (p<0.001). In addition, goodness of fit indices supported the optimal fit of the model with the collected data (X2/df=2.201, TLI=0.98, IFI=0.99, NFI=0.99, CFI=0.99, GFI=0. 98, AGFI=0.98, RMSEA=0.068).
Conclusion: According to our findings, attitudes toward extramarital relationships played a mediating role in the relationship between spiritual intelligence and early maladaptive schemas and emotional divorce. These findings are an important step towards recognizing the effective factors in women's emotional divorce.
