The marital commitment of couples has a very essential role in the stability of the system and the foundation of the family and is one of its basic elements, so the study of its influential and reinforcing components has high importance, The research design was descriptive correlational to investigate the mediating role of couples' communication patterns in the relationship between love styles and marital commitment. The statistical population of the study included couples in Kermanshah in 1398 that 190 couples of them who were in 5 urban areas (1, 3, 5, 6 &7) were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling. Research tools used in this study included the Marital Commitment Questionnaire (Adams and Jones, 1997), the Triangular Love Scale (Sternberg, 1986), and the Couples Communication Patterns Questionnaire (Christensen and Salawi, 1984). Data were analyzed by multiple regression and Baron and Kenny test (1986). The results of data analysis showed that there is a positive and significant relationship(r=0.43& p <0.01) between lovemaking styles and marital commitment. Also, only a positive relationship between the subscales of the reciprocal constructive pattern among the couple's interactive patterns with marital commitment (r= 0.19 and p<0.01) and lovemaking styles (r = 0.12 and p <0.01). It was meaningful. The mediating role of the constructive interaction model in the relationship between lovemaking styles and marital commitment was also confirmed. Therefore, by using the findings of the present study, it can be concluded that love styles by increasing the use of constructive communication model reinforcement and increases commitment in marital relationships, which results having a dynamic and stable family.
