This study employed a descriptive-correlational methodology and took place in Rafsanjan city, Iran, during the year 2021. A sample of 300 individuals (150 males and 150 females) underwent the administration of the measures. The study utilized the emotional divorce scale, family psychological functional scale questionnaire, and dyadic perfectionism questionnaire (Shi et al., 2006). Results: The study revealed a significant correlation between emotional literacy and dyadic perfectionism, and emotional divorce. Furthermore, these factors were found to be predictive of emotional divorce.

Dyadic perfectionism has a positive correlation with emotional divorce, with a correlation coefficient of 0.18.
