Aim: The aim of this research was to determine the causal relationship
between time perspective and marital instability considering the mediation
role of communication patterns. Method: The research method was
correlational descriptive. Statistical population of six thousands married men
and women at least three years after their marriage who referred to counseling
centers located in District 2 of Tehran city between May and September 2018.
11 centers were randomly selected among the above centers and According
to Howit & Cramer, 2004, 308 qualified volunteers were selected as the
sample through convenient method. Instruments: were marital instability
questionnaires by Edwards, Johnson and Booth 1980, communication
patterns by Christensen and Sallavy 1984 and time perspective by Zimbardo
and Boyd 1999. Data were analyzed applying path analysis. Results: results
showed that negative past dimension (β= 0.272, P= 0.001) prospects marital
instability positively meanwhile, future dimensions (β= -0.33, P= 0.001),
positive past dimension (β= -0.245, P= 0.001), Hedonistic present (β= -0.095,
P= 0.005), and mutual constructive communication pattern (β= -0.240, P=
0.001) predict it negatively. Also indirect path’s coefficients showed a
positive relationship between negative past dimension and marital instability
(β= 0.51, P= 0.001), and a negative relationship between future dimensions
(β= -0.090, P= 0.001), Hedonistic present (β= -0.035, P= 0.005), and marital
instability. It is clear that the communication patterns mediate between the
dimensions of negative past, future, and Hedonistic present and marital
instability. Conclusion: Based on findings of the present research, it is
suggested that family counselors in order to develop and improve marital
stability, consider a shift in couples’ time perspective and also train
constructive communication patterns to couples in their counseling sessions.
