The results showed that there is a negative and significant relationship between love quality and meta-marital relationship (r = -0.31; P <0.01) and between the component of commitment to the spouse of the marital commitment variable with meta-marital relationship (p <0.01). R = 0.34) There was a positive and significant relationship, but no significant relationship was found between variables of conflict resolution styles and couple commitment and meta-cognitive relationships. Also, 10% of the total variance of meta-marital relationships is explained by the components of quality of love, 1% of the total variance is explained by the components of conflict resolution styles, and 11% of the total variance of meta-marital relationships by the components of marital commitment.
