دور التواصل الزواجي في التخفيف من حالة الطلاق العاطفي: دراسة عيادية لثلاث حالات

Abstract

This study aimed to reveal the role of marital communication as one of the most important psychological and social factors affecting the quality of the marital relationship, by analyzing the extent of its contribution to reducing the manifestations of emotional divorce between spouses. Marital communication refers to the various forms of verbal and non-verbal interaction through which feelings, ideas, and needs are exchanged, while emotional divorce refers to a state of apathy and emotional separation despite the continuation of the formal relationship. The study relied on the clinical approach due to its suitability to the nature of the subject, as scientific measurement tools were used to estimate the level of communication between spouses and their degree of emotional divorce, while analyzing the correlation between the two variables. The results also showed that weak listening skills, excessive criticism, and lack of expression of feelings are among the most prominent factors that contribute to the widening of the emotional gap, while supportive communication based on respect and empathy contributes to enhancing marital compatibility and family stability. The study concludes by emphasizing the importance of developing couples’ communication skills through guidance and awareness programmers, because of this having a preventive and therapeutic role in reducing the aggravation of marital problems and reaching the stage of emotional divorce.
