Considering the increase of marital conflicts and the increasing trend of divorce, the development of native interventions based on Islamic principles in the field of family counseling is a strategic necessity. The present study was conducted with the aim of designing and validating the pre-divorce counseling intervention protocol based on the mechanism of "wisdom" in verse 35 of Surah Nisa. This study was conducted with a sequential exploratory mixed approach in two qualitative and quantitative phases. In the qualitative phase, the data extracted from the verse and seven authentic interpretations were analyzed using inductive qualitative content analysis and the primary conceptual framework was extracted. In the quantitative phase, the content validity of the designed framework was confirmed by the opinion of 9 experts in the field of family counseling and Islamic studies and the calculation of content validity indices (CVI, CVR). The findings led to the development of a structured protocol in five stages, including diagnostic evaluation, explanation of the role of judges, corrective intervention, ethical monitoring, and evaluation of consequences, which were explained in eleven operational steps. The results provide a coherent and applicable model in family counseling centers, and the experimental test of its effectiveness is suggested in future researches.
