Introduction: The present study was conducted with the aim of developing Marital Stability Model based on Personality Characteristics and Perceived Stress mediating by problem solving styles. Method: To do the research, 500 married women in Tehran City were selected through Loehlin (2004) method using available sampling method. To measure the study variables, Perceived Stress Scale (Cohen, Kamarck & Mermelstein, 1983), Marital Instability Index (Edwards, Johnson & Booth, 1987), the short form of NEO Personality Five- Factor Inventory (Costa & McCrae, 1985), and Problem- Solving Style (Cassidy & Long, 1996) were used. The study was based on structural equation modeling, specifically, the regression equations. Results: The findings showed that Personality Characteristics and Perceived Stress Mediating by problem Solving styles had an indirect effect on Marital Stability. Conclusion: The fit indices showed that the proposed model in the study has a good fit with the data gathered from married women and a close relationship with the theoretical assumptions.
