Abstract

One of the important issues in life is ensuring a successful and prosperous life accompanied by happiness and joy, which in religious literature is referred to as "good life," "happiness," and the like, and in positive psychology it is referred to as "good life," "quality of life," or "happiness and contentment."The need for educational-psychological guidelines that are based on the culture and values of society will play an effective role in promoting the mental health of family members. The necessity of the present study is also defined in line with this role. The present study is qualitative in approach and documentary in method. The results showed that marital happiness، based on Islamic teachings، has two overarching concepts: a) factors that create marital happiness and b) factors that limit marital happiness. The factors that create happiness have six organizing themes (Wisdom، Religious beliefs، Worthy deeds and good morals، Worship، Material elements and natural pleasures، Marriage rituals and home hygiene ) and have 52 basic themes. The results obtained have the necessary credibility and validity for developing a happiness-psychological educational guideline based on Islamic teachings.
