This study is basic and correlational so by cluster sampling 248 samples (115 females and 133 males) were randomly selected from a couple of clients in counseling centers in Tehran. The instruments used to collect data were Sanaei et al.'s (2014), Marital Conflict Questionnaire, Ghorbani et al.'s Self-Knowledge Questionnaire (2008), Sternberg Love Questionnaire (1986), Siberia Schering Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (Mansouri, 2001) and Drake Differentiation Questionnaire (2011). After collection, survey data were analyzed using SMART.PLS software and structural equation modeling without subscale. Findings indicate that the variables of self-knowledge, love and emotional intelligence were able to explain the variance of differentiation with a value of 0.715 and these three variables along with the mediating variable were able to predict the variance of marital conflicts with a value of 0.517, as well as the mediating role of differentiation. It was meaningful in all three directions. The results showed that the model of predicting marital conflicts based on self-knowledge, love, emotional intelligence with differentiation mediated is a good fit. to be used.
