Abstract

The current study aimed to reveal the clinical features associated with the emotional disturbmace of married couples resulting from the influence of some of the following psychological factors/variables, psychological compatibility, awareness of legitimate values and teachings related to marital life, sexual consent, marital abuse, and the use of social networks in Saudi Arabia. The study sample included 580 (320) couples and 260 wives in Saudi Arabia, and the study revealed that psychological harmony, awareness of legitimate values and teachings related to marital life, sexual consent, marital abuse and the use of social networks directly affect the emotional disorder between couples. The study concluded that emotional disturbance has a role in the disruption of family structure and the continuation of marital life and that exposing this relationship to some of these factors may lead to emotional disturbance, divorce and family disintegration and then fall into a class of successive psychological disorders.
