This study aimed to model the predictors of marital satisfaction based on initial maladaptive schemas and the tendency to break the contract mediated by happiness in married women. The statistical population of this research was women living in Isfahan city in 2021, and 290 people were selected as research samples using relative random sampling. Research tools included Young Schema Questionnaire, Oxford Happiness Questionnaire, Willingness to Break, and Marital Satisfaction questionnaires. To test the research hypotheses, the structural equation method was used. The results showed that with increasing happiness, women's marital satisfaction increases. In addition, reducing the initial maladaptive schemas, except for deprivation, increases happiness and women's marital satisfaction. In addition, happiness increases as the desire to break the covenant improve. However, the change in the tendency to break the contract does not significantly affect marital satisfaction. Also, mediation of happiness in the path of harm and harm schemes to disease and insufficient restraint is partial to mediation satisfaction. In general, the results of the research show that by reducing the initial incompatible schemas (damage and loss compared to illness and insufficient self-control), marital satisfaction increases in women, but with the increase of happiness in this relationship, the effect of reducing schemas on increasing marital satisfaction increases, and the mediation of happiness in the path of the desire to break the contract on marital satisfaction is a complete mediation. The present results can be used by counselors and researchers to increase marital satisfaction.
