Healthy and successful marriage plays a fundamental role in creation a healthy family. Accordingly, present research was to study and investigate the experiences of couples who had successful marriage. The present research is a qualitative research, in which phenomenological approach was used. For this purpose, 13 participants were selected by purposive sampling method and were studied via discovering and deep interviews during a 12 month period. Data was collected, registered and encoded in main categories. Analyzing the participants experiences were resulted in identifying 386 primary codes, 25 subthemes, and 4 main themes including personal context, family context, parenting context, and Entourage context. In developing a health and successful marriage, there are factors which are affected by socio-cultural context. Although these factors play fundamental role in marriage, they have been ignored. Therefore, in dealing with marriage and families, it is necessary to pay more attention to social and cultural context.
