300 persons were selected by the method of multistage random sampling from the all women are married with marital conflicts that were referred to counseling centers in Isfahan at the winter of 1395. The instruments were the initial maladaptive Schema questionnaire Young, triangular inventory of love Sterenberg, marital conflict questionnaire Barati and Sanai. Data analysis was conducted by Structural equation modeling using the software AMOS / 16. The results showed that the direct effect of initial maladaptive schemas of the cuts and rejection areas and styles of love on marital conflict was significant. Also, lovemaking styles (desire, commitment, intimacy) had the role of mediator in the relationship between initial maladaptive schema of the cuts and rejection areas and the marital conflict.
