A Model of Couple Burnout in Relation with the Multi-Dimensional Pattern of Connection with God and Though and Language Controls

This study was conducted with the aim of investigating a model of couple burnout in relation with the multi-dimensional pattern of connection with God and thought and language controls. By multi-stage sampling, 350 married students studying in the public and Azad universities (2013-2014) were selected and then the correlation among them was calculated. The Pines's (1996) couple burnout measure, the questionnaire of Mazaheri's & Pasandideh's (2011) three-dimensional pattern of connection of human with God, the questionnaire of Algarabel's & Martinez's (2005) thought control ability, and a researcher-made questionnaire of language control were applied in this study. The validity and reliability of questionnaires were calculated through factor analysis and Cronbach's alpha and the tests of structural equation modeling were used. One of the findings was that the multi-dimensional pattern of connection with God, only indirectly, predicts the increase of couple burnout by decreasing thought and language controls. In addition, the path of triangle of God-oriented faith can predict the decrease of couple burnout only by increasing thought and language controls.
