Findings: At the level of descriptive statistics, The mean and standard deviation of the relationships disturbance variable in experimental group mindfulness based cognitive therapy in stages pre-test (M= 32.00, SD= 2.87), Post-test (M= 23.00, SD= 4.37), follow-up (M= 23.12, SD= 4.20). The mean and standard deviation of the relationships disturbance variable in experimental group couple therapy with the schema approach in stages pre-test (M= 31.73, SD= 4.18), Post-test (M= 20.33, SD= 2.19), follow-up (M= 19.93, SD= 1.83). The mean and standard deviation of the relationships disturbance variable in control group in stages pre-test (M= 32.53, SD= 4.01), Post-test (M= 31.06, SD= 3.69), follow-up (M= 31.33, SD= 3.30).The results of data analysis showed that couple therapy with a schema approach had a significant effect on reducing relationship disturbance (p>0.001), The results of data analysis showed that mindfulness based cognitive therapy had a significant effect on reducing relationship disturbance (p>0.001), also between two groups of couple therapy with Schema approach and mindfulness based cognitive therapy, no significant difference was observed in the relationship disturbance variable.
