The present study aimed to develop a causal model of marital instability based on dark personality and ego strength with the mediation of empathy in married women. The design of the current research was descriptive-correlation and structural path analysis methods. The statistical population of this research was all married women who were referred to the health centers of 22 districts of Tehran in the period of August to November of 2022, and 430 people were selected as the sample size using the available sampling method. To collect data, Edwards et al.'s marital instability questionnaires (MLL, 1987), Johnson and Webster's dark personality (DTDDS, 2010), Markstrom et al.'s (PIES, 1997) ego competence, and Jolliffe and Farrington's (MES, 2006) marital empathy questionnaires were used. Pearson's correlation coefficient and path analysis were used to analyze the data. The results showed that the total path coefficient was only between narcissistic personality and marital instability (p<0.05). Positive and the total path coefficient between ego empowerment and empathy (p<0.05) was negative and significant. Also, the indirect path coefficient between narcissistic personality and ego empowerment with marital instability through marital empathy (p<0.05) was negative and significant. Also, the causal model of marital instability based on dark personality and ego strength with the mediation of empathy and in married women had a favorable fit. Their internal psychology improved the stability of the marriage.
