Choosing the right wife is most significant decision that impacts all other issues of life. Considering the significance of marriage, the consistency, and strength of family, this study was done to explore the relationship between spouse choosing criteria and positive feelings towards spouse, considering the mediating role of senses of unity and flexibility of family. All teachers of Zahedan consisted the statistical population of the descriptive-analytical study. The sample included 258 people, using multi-stage cluster method and Cochran's formula. A questionnaire on prioritizing the criteria for choosing spouse, feeling positive towards the spouse, and feeling unity and flexibility of family was used to collect data. Factor analysis and structural equation modeling were applied for analyzing the data and testing the hypotheses. The results showed that family unity with a coefficient of -0.241 and flexibility of family with a coefficient of -0.203 have mediating role among choosing spouse and positive feelings towards spouse criteria (p<0.05). As the predictive coefficients are more than 0.5, the model has a high predictive power; therefore, the results of the correlation analysis confirm the positive and significant correlation between choosing spouse criteria and positive feeling towards the spouse, with the mediating role of the sense of unity and flexibility of family.
