Abstract

The present research was conducted in order to discover the factors and spiritual interventions that prevent the progress of couples in the stages of divorce according to Islamic sources. The method of this research consisted of a qualitative method that was implemented in three stages. Linguistic semantics method was used to discover the preemptive spiritual factors and interventions, and in order to obtain the spiritual factors and interventions from Islamic sources, the method of content analysis and the rules of the principles of jurisprudence were used. The findings of the research showed three models of "humility-benevolence", "gratitude-patience" and "far-sightedness-hope" centered on faith and connection with God in six stages of "weakness of functions", "emergence of turmoil", "turmoil", "dissociation" , "divorce-return" and "separation-return" are effective as preventive spiritual agents and interventions. In the initial stages, the first model is mostly used, and In the following, due to the evolution of divorce and the difficulty of couples' communication, the second and third models play the role of obstacle.
