To collect data, Pargament et al.'s religious coping strategies, Luthans' psychological capital, Ray's forgiveness and colleagues' questionnaires, and Sham's et al.'s family strength scale were used. SPSS26 and AMOS24 software were used for data analysis and model fitting, and bootstrap method in MACRO program was used by Preacher and Hayes to investigate the role of mediating variables. Results: The research results showed that the proposed research model has a favorable fit, and psychological capital(P=0.001, β=0.155) and the ability to forgive(P=0.003, β=0.139) have a direct effect on family strength, and Psychological capital(P=0.001, β=0.0745) and the ability to forgive(P=0.006, β=0.0655) have an indirect effect on family empowerment through positive religious coping strategy. Also, negative religious coping strategy does not mediate the relationship between psychological capital(P=0.210, β=0.0169) and the ability to forgive(P=0.0144, β=0.396) with family empowerment.Conclusion: Therefore, this conceptual model can be used in the process of family counseling interventions and couple therapy to improve the quality of life as well as the strength of the family
