This research is Cross Sectional navigation type and was done through Path Analysis modeling by multivariate correlation method. In this research, 230 married men and women of Ramsar city were selected by random cluster sampling method. The variables were measured using the Loneliness Questionnaire (Russell, 1980), marital commitment (Adams and Jones, 1997), attitudes toward the infidelity Questionnaire (Watley, 2008) and Meaning Life Questionnaire (Steger et al., 2006). The statistical analysis of the data was done with the SPSS-26 and AMOS-24 software and with the path analysis method. According to the findings of this research, the Path Analysis of loneliness, marital commitment and the meaning of life fits with the attitude towards extramarital relationships. The feeling of loneliness has a positive and significant effect on the attitude towards extramarital relationships (=β0/24, P<0/00) Marital commitment has a negative and significant effect on the attitude towards extramarital relationships (=β -0/46, P<0/00), and the meaning of life has a negative and significant effect on the attitude towards extramarital relationships (=β -0/44, P<0/00). Considering that, the feeling of loneliness, marital commitment and the meaning of life are effective in people's attitude towards extramarital relationships, so these concepts can be taken into consideration in training institutes and couples therapy sessions in order to prevent and intervene in the discussion of marital infidelity.
