The relationship between the rationalization of social relations and individual freedoms is one of the main themes of sociology. The purpose of this study is to identify the inclination and desire of couples in a legal process to be separated that have been either hidden in divorced families or have been discussed less. This is qualitative research which has been conducted using a phenomenological approach and targeted sampling (snowball) strategies. The required data were 20 couples at risk of divorce to the saturation level and analyzed using semi-structured interviews as well as the content analysis method. After extracting important sentences and words from the interview text, 213 primary codes were taken out, which according to the purpose and question of the research are classified into four major themes: macro, medium, micro and interactive. According to research findings, there is a danger of daily love and suppression of romance, fading of love scenario, fantasy and sexual imaginations, change of desire in fantasy and the emergence of another great, fantasized and distorted love, duality of love and fantasy, selfishness and transition to hegemonic femininity. In general, the findings show that divorce does not lead to a sudden relationship break; rather examining the experience structure of the participants indicates that the dimensions of divorce are systematic, with rotational context and the marriage process formation.
