| Abstract The most frequent outcomes of marital dissatisfaction are emotional divorce and emotion regulation difficulties, which cause psychological distress for one or both partners.

The results indicated that less than half of women had moderate to severe levels of emotional divorce (44.2%) and 51.5% had moderate to severe levels of emotional regulation difficulties. Women emotional divorce and emotion regulation difficulties are positively correlated with each other ((r=0.382) and negatively correlated with sexual satisfaction, husband role performance and wife role performance.
