The purpose of the present study was to predict marital burnout between couples based on psychological entitlement and romantic perfectionism. This research was a descriptive-correlation study. The statistical population of the study included all the couples who referred to Hamedan Counseling Centers such as Mehr, Mehravar, Sepidar, Roozbeh, Hale-Khoob, Farzaneh, due to marital problems in spring and summer (May, June, July) of 2018-2019. For the statistical sample, 220 clients were selected purposefully. 215 questionnaires were completed, 7 of which were incomplete and finally, 208 questionnaires were statistically analyzed. To collect the research data, Pines Marital Burnout Measure (1996), Lisard et al. (2011) Psychological Entitlement Measure, and Matt & Lafountain (2012) The Adaptation of Romantic Perfectionism Scale were used. Data were analyzed using Pearson Correlation Coefficient and regression analysis. Findings indicated that there is a positive significant relationship between romantic perfectionism and marital burnout (P <0.001). Moreover, there was also a positive significant relationship between exploitive entitlement and non-exploitive entitlement and romantic perfectionism (P <0.001). The results of regression analysis also showed that romantic perfectionism (0.37) and entitlement (0.19) were able to predict marital burnout (P <0.001). Therefore, according to the findings of the study it can be concluded that, romantic perfectionism and entitlement can predict marital burnout and affect individuals’ marital life.
