The statistical population of the research consisted of all married women who were referred to Ahvaz counseling centers. The Sampling method was available. Based on the formula of Fidel and Tabachenik (2007), 106 people were selected from the mentioned population, which was increased to 120 people in terms of caution. The research tools included four standard scales of Olson, Portner and Levy (1985), Family Functioning Tavitian et al. (1987), Connor-Davidson's resilience (2003), and Gottman's emotional divorce (1995). Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis were used to test the research hypotheses. The Analysis of the results showed that the variables of resilience and family performance are significant predictors of emotional divorce. There is a significant relationship between family cohesion and its components in married women and emotional divorce. There is an inverse and significant relationship between family functioning and emotional divorce, and with increasing the average family function and its components increase, the average emotional divorce of married women decreases. No significant relationship was observed between the components of family communication and family support and encouragement with emotional divorce. There is an inverse and significant relationship between resilience in married women and emotional divorce and as the average resilience increases, the average emotional divorce decreases.
