The research method was descriptive-correlation and structural equation modeling. The statistical population included all married women who referred to counseling centers in 2022 in Tehran city. 397 people were selected from 13 counseling centers in 8 districts of Tehran city by convenience sampling method. To collect data, Marital Forgiveness questionnaire of pollard et al. (1998), Marital Quality Scale of Busby et al. (1995) and Spouse's Perceived Responsiveness Scale of Reis et al. (2017) were used. Structural equation modeling and SPSS22 and Amos24 software were used for data analysis.
Structural equation modeling showed that marital forgiveness is related to women's marital quality both directly and through the mediation of the spouse's perceived responsiveness. (β= 0/116). The evaluation of the hypothetical research model using fit indices showed that the hypothetical model fits the measurement model. According to the obtained results, marriage counselors and family therapists can pay attention to important role of spouse's Perceived Responsiveness in predicting the quality of couple's relationship, prevention and treatment of communication injuries between couples.
