This study aimsto investigate an aspect of marital interactions, distance. By applying aqualitative method and conducting 43 in-depth semi-structured interviews, including 22women and 21 men, women and men experiences of distance were investigated based on theirown narratives.The results of the study suggested different forms of distance in couples' relationships,which can be classified to distance made bychoice, distance made byconflict, and distancemade byposition (situation). Although some forms of distance can cause dissociation incouple's relationship, distancesmadebychoice and some other types of distance can lead tostrength in the relationship. It is notable that because of the limited sample size of this study,its results cannot be generalized at all.

The increasing trend of divorce during recent decade and consequently a rise in the number of men and women who have experienced divorce, clarifies the importance of paying attention to post-divorce life. However the study of how divorced subjects deal with life after divorce and also their perception, especially with a gender approach has been a neglected area in the Iranian sociology. Therefore the present research attempts to adopt a quantitative methodology and to apply in depth semi structured interviews with 36 divorced men and women in Tehran to discover the perception of subjects of different aspects of life after divorce and gender differences, in the way people deal with the situation.
The results show that with divorce several changes develop in various aspects of life of actors. Therefore actors should take new interaction policies in the areas of emotional, sexual, economic, psychological, relational, social, parenting, and home management in their lives. Also, gender culture, gender inequality in access to a variety of investments, legal distinctions, differences in habits, gender roles, distinctive sense of community of men and women, lead in various interactions and deal differently with divorce when it happens. The results indicate that, women compared to men experience different aftermaths of divorce and, by and large, they face with doubled challenges.
