%X The aim of this study is to develop a tool for measuring the divorce predictors based on Gottman couple therapy. In this context, coverage validity and structure validity analyses were carried out. The scale development study was participated by 500 people, including 313 women and 187 men, from 51 provinces of Turkey. First of all, qualitative data was obtained by interviewing 10 divorced individuals in 4 different provinces of Turkey. The items pool of divorce predictors scale was created with the findings of the qualitative study and in the direction of related literature. The scale form was presented to 5 experts. The final form of the scale was applied to 10 married individuals to test the scale in terms of language. Exploratory Factor Analysis based on the Principal Component Method was performed on the half of the data set to show the validity of the structure of the scale. As a result of the analysis, 54 items were found with the factor load value of .40 and above. The total variance of structure obtained in the 5 factor is 60.43%. After that, Confirmatory Factor Analysis was carried out on the other half of the data set. The goodness of fit values for the tested models were acceptable. The Cronbach ¦Á internal consistency coefficient for the whole scale was .95, while the Cronbach ¦Á internal consistency coefficients for the subscales range between .78 and .96. It is concluded that the findings on validity and reliability indicate that the final form can measure divorce predictors
