Urinary incontinence (UI) is a widespread public health issue predominantly affecting adult women. This study was conducted with aim to investigate the impact of urinary incontinence on sexual satisfaction in postmenopausal women.

This systematic review study was conducted based on the PRISMA checklist. A comprehensive search was carried out in various national and international databases using standard keywords, including MESH terms and their Persian equivalents. The keywords included Urinary Incontinence, Urge, Incontinence, Stress Incontinence, Orgasm, Sexual Arousal, Sexual Function, Sexual Satisfaction, Menopause, and Postmenopause. All relevant descriptive-cross-sectional studies were selected for this research.

Out of a total of 754 studies, 12 articles involving 4132 postmenopausal women were included in the investigation. The studies were predominantly descriptive-cross-sectional, with only one study classified as a clinical trial. The mean age of the participants was 56.48 ± 4.73 years. The studies examined three types of urinary incontinence: stress, urge, and mixed incontinence. All studies emphasized that postmenopausal women with urinary incontinence experienced lower sexual function and satisfaction. Some studies indicated that the type of urinary incontinence could have a greater impact on sexual function and satisfaction. Three studies stated that stress incontinence reduced sexual desire, while four studies linked mixed incontinence to the most significant impact on sexual dysfunction. One study found that only stress incontinence had a significant relationship with sexual function.

The most prevalent types of incontinence were urge, stress, and mixed incontinence, respectively. Most articles (four studies) indicated that mixed incontinence has a more significant effect on sexual dysfunction. However, one study found no correlation between mixed incontinence and sexual dysfunction. Further research in this area is recommended.

The period of pregnancy and postpartum is characterized by physical and psychological changes in women, which can significantly contribute to the onset or exacerbation of sexual disorders. Various nursing and midwifery interventions have been used as alternative therapeutic methods to improve sexual satisfaction in women during pregnancy and after childbirth, and this study aims to review and summarize these interventions.

A total of 40 studies (13 Persian articles and 27 Latin articles) have been examined. Nine distinct approaches have been utilized to enhance sexual satisfaction during pregnancy (17 studies) and following childbirth (23 studies). The influence of educational techniques for mothers across various areas (14 studies) during pregnancy, along with group and sexual counseling (10 studies) and group and sexual counseling (10 studies) and instruction on pelvic and leg exercises (9 studies) in the postpartum phase, appears to be more prevalent than other approaches in the research.  is more frequent than other methods in the studies. Researchers have conducted an investigation. .

Uncoordinated movement was noted in 75% of mice following prolonged acetaminophen use (p<0.01) while pretreatment with Stevia entirely counteracted the effects of acetaminophen. Acetaminophen was significantly (p<0.01) increased serum AST and ALT and Sativa extract dose dependently mitigated the effects of acetaminophen. Pretreatment with both doses of stevia leads to a decrease in symptoms of liver necrosis caused by chronic acetaminophen use.

The approach of educating mothers in different areas, including sexual counseling and pelvic and Kegel exercise, is effective during pregnancy and post-delivery by midwifery professionals in the centers due to simplicity, accessibility, and affordability. Offering services and clinics have been utilized to enhance sexual satisfaction and improve the quality of women's sexual experiences, helping them better adjust to their pregnancy and postpartum periods.

Extramarital relationships pose a challenge to family life and can negatively affect the mental health and well-being of family members. Various factors can contribute to the development of extramarital relationships. The present study aimed to predict attitudes towards extramarital relationships based on sexual satisfaction and performance in individuals with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

This study was correlational in nature. The study population included all married individuals seeking counseling and psychological services in Qazvin city in 2023, from which 216 individuals were selected by purposive sampling method. The World Health Organization ADHD self-report scale, Yeniceri and Kokdemir Extramarital Relationship Questionnaire, Larson Sexual Satisfaction Questionnaire, and the Farajina Sexual Performance Questionnaire were used for data collection. Data analysis was performed using SPSS-25 software and multiple regression analysis. All inferential analyses were conducted at a significance level of 0/05.

Rusults: 

The results indicated that sexual satisfaction (β = 0/19, t = 2/85) and sexual performance (β = 0/15, t = 2/26) could predict the variance of changes related to attitudes towards extramarital relationships.

Based on the obtained results, it is recommended to provide couples with this awareness during premarital counseling so that they can discuss sexual issues with marriage counselors and specialists and receive specialized counseling if needed to prevent the tendency towards extramarital relationships.

Aging is a sensitive period of human life, and sexual health is an important part of the life of the elderly, which is usually ignored.

In this study, we examined the sexual health of retired old men.

In this cross-sectional analytical study, the research sample included 369 retired men aged 60 and over in Rrasht. Sampling was done in a stratified random way. In this study, the demographic questionnaire and Male Sexual Health Questionnaire (MSHQ) were used. Data were analyzed using Spearman’s correlation coefficient, Mann–Whitney test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and IBM SPSS Statistics software version 21 software.

The mean age of the participants was 66.5±4.7 years. The mean total sexual health score was 92.22±12.95, the maen ejaculation score was 26.87 (76.9% of the maximum score), the maen erection score was 10.88 (72.7% of the maximum score), and the mean sexual satisfaction score was 84.22 (76% compared to the maximum score). 54.6% of people were moderately satisfied with their sex life. The mean score of ejaculation and erection had a positive and significant correlation with the maen score of sexual satisfaction (respectively, r=0.189 P<0.001 and r=0.231 P<0.001). 17.1% of the elderly had erectile dysfunction. Age, length of married life and age gap with spouse were related to the mean score of erection and ejaculation (P<0.001). Place of residence and occupation had a significant relationship with the mean erection score (P<0.001). Occupation, income and length of married life had a significant relationship with sexual satisfaction (P<0.001). Physical and medical illness and drug use had a significant relationship with the mean erection score (P<0.001), but it had no relationship with the mean ejaculation score and sexual satisfaction.

The erection and ejaculation score of the old participants was more than 70% of the maximum possible score and more than half of them were moderately satisfied with their sex life. The better the participants perform in erection and ejaculation, the greater their sexual satisfaction.

Infertility can pose numerous personal and relational challenges for infertile couples, affecting their marital life. Addressing the psychological needs of infertile couples is essential in infertility treatment. This study aimed to examine the relationship between marital conflicts, perceived self-communication, and sexual intimacy among infertile couples in Urmia.

This descriptive cross-sectional correlational study included 102 infertile couples attending the Koosar Educational and Therapeutic Center in Urmia, selected through convenience sampling. Data collection tools comprised a demographic questionnaire, Marital Conflict Questionnaire, Sexual Intimacy Questionnaire, and the Perceived Self-Communication Questionnaire, which were completed by the participants in the form of self-reports. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 16 with descriptive and inferential statistics.

The mean and standard deviation scores for marital conflicts, perceived self-communication, and sexual intimacy were 55.56 ± 11.22, 70.01 ± 8.62, and 104.16 ± 9.55, respectively. The results indicated significant correlations between perceived self-communication and sexual intimacy (r = 0.5498, P<0.01), marital conflicts and perceived self-communication (r = -0.61, P<0.01), and marital conflicts and sexual intimacy (r = -0.51, P<0.01). Additionally, a statistically significant relationship was observed between the duration of infertility and the three variables, marital conflicts, perceived self-communication, and sexual intimacy (P<0.05).

The study's findings revealed a significant negative relationship between marital conflicts and perceived self-communication, as well as between marital conflicts and sexual intimacy. These results can be a base for making strategies to reduce marital conflicts in the etiology, design of therapeutic interventions, and improvement of relationships among couples facing infertility. Considering that infertile couples require more psychological counseling and support, efforts should focus on establishing constructive therapeutic relationships, providing awareness and clarity for precise problem recognition, offering appropriate solutions to overcome these challenges, and ensuring clear psychological support.

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are more at risk of facing problems related to sexual dysfunction than their peers. This study was conducted with the aim of the effectiveness of the pulmonary rehabilitation program on the sexual satisfaction and self-efficacy of men with this disease.

The present study was a randomized clinical trial. There were 40 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who met the conditions for entering the study and were divided into two intervention and control groups using a table of random numbers. Both groups completed Hudson's sexual satisfaction (1981) and vaziri's sexual self-efficacy (2017) questionnaires. For the people in the intervention group, the pulmonary rehabilitation program of Scheermesser et al. (2021) was implemented. Both questionnaires were completed immediately and one month after the end of the intervention by the participants in both groups. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and Bonferroni's post hoc test.

All samples were male and most of them were 45-50 years old. The average score of sexual satisfaction and sexual self-efficacy before the intervention was not significantly different in the two groups. In the intervention group, the sexual satisfaction and sexual self-efficacy scores immediately and one month after the intervention (p<0.001) were significantly higher than before the intervention.

In this study, pulmonary rehabilitation program improved the self-efficacy and sexual satisfaction of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Therefore, the implementation of these programs is suggested to improve sexual activity in these patients

One of the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic was its impact on marital relations. In health workers, including midwives, who have longer and more contact with mothers who may be infected with COVID-19, the fear of transmitting the virus to their partners is more. This fear can affect their personal lives, including sexual relationships and sexual health. This study aims to determine the relationship of the fear of COVID-19 with sexual function and sexual satisfaction in midwives working in teaching hospitals in Tehran, Iran.

This cross-sectional study was conducted on 122 midwives working in teaching affiliated to Iran University of Medical Sciences. They were selected using a census method from May 13 to August 6, 2022. Data collection tools included a demographic/ COVID-19-related form, Ahurso’s fear of COVID-19 scale, female sexual function index (FSFI) and sexual satisfaction index. Data were analyzed in SPSS software, version 24. 

The mean age of participants was 32.21 ± 6.27 years. Most of them had a bachelor’s degree. Sexual satisfaction had no significant relationship with any demographic factors (P>0.05). There was a negative and significant correlation (weak) between fear of COVID-19 and sexual satisfaction (r=-0.214, P=0.019). Also, there was a negative and significant correlation (moderate) between the fear of COVID-19 and sexual function (r=-0.450, P<0.001).

It seems that the fear of COVID-19 is related to sexual function and sexual satisfaction of Iranian married midwives. Therefore, during similar pandemics in the future, midwives need support such as receiving more personal protective equipment and stress management and resilience training workshops .

Sexual satisfaction and sexual assertiveness are both considered to be the most important factors in maintaining a successful, healthy and happy married life. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between sexual assertiveness and sexual satisfaction of married women of reproductive age in Qom province in 2021.

100 married women who referred to health centers in Qom, Iran participated in this cross-sectional study. Health centers were selected by clustering and a convenience sample was entered into the study from April to October 2023. The questionnaire of Hulbert's sexual assertiveness index and Larson Sexual Satisfaction were used. Data analysis was done by SPSS-22 software. Pearson's correlation coefficient and one-way analysis of variance were used to analyze the data.

The results showed that the mean of sexual satisfaction score (SD) was 99.40 (15.41), the mean of sexual assertiveness was 56.19 (20.04), and there was a high correlation between sexual assertiveness and sexual satisfaction r=0.74 (P <0.001). There was a significant difference between the averages of sexual assertiveness and age of women and spouses (P <0.001). A significant difference was found between the average sexual self-expression of women with the number of children (P=0.03) and between the average sexual assertiveness and the education groups of spouses (P=0.04).

Considering the positive correlation between sexual assertiveness and sexual satisfaction, it is suggested that in order to increase women's sexual satisfaction, service providers should increase their sexual assertiveness through various counseling and educational methods.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a relatively common neurological disorder that often affects young women. The current study aimed to assess the effect of expressive writing on the sexual and marital satisfaction of women with MS.

This randomized clinical trial was conducted to assess the sexual and marital satisfaction of 104 married women aged 18-45 years with MS referred to a selected specialized clinic in Tehran in 2022. The inclusion criteria entailed having minimal literacy, no use of psychotropic drugs, lack of other chronic diseases other than MS, and no pregnancy or breastfeeding. Sampling was performed consecutively, and samples were allocated to two groups based on the table of random numbers. The intervention group did writing at home at least once a week for four weeks. The personal characteristic questionnaire, Larson's sexual satisfaction, and Enrich's marital satisfaction questionnaire were used for data collection. The data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 21), and a p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

The two groups were homogenous in terms of all examined personal characteristics. The results of this study demonstrated that performing expressive writing at home at least once a week for four weeks caused a significant increase in sexual satisfaction scores (P=0.01) and marital satisfaction (P<0.001).

As evidenced by the obtained results, expressive writing can improve sexual and marital satisfaction in women with MS.

Sleep quality affects physical, sexual, and mental health, especially during middle age. This study aimed to determine the relationship between sleep quality and sexual satisfaction among employed women during the transitional period to menopause.

A cross-sectional correlational study was conducted on 150 working women at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences between November and December 2022. The participants were selected by random cluster sampling. Demographic information form, the Petersburg Sleep Quality Questionnaire (PSQI), and the Larson Sexual Satisfaction Questionnaire (LSSQ) were used to collect data. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods in SPSS V.23. A significance level of p < 0.05 was considered for all statistical analyses.

The results showed that the majority of participants had undesirable sleep quality and moderate sexual satisfaction. The mean total sexual satisfaction score has no significant relationship with undesirable sleep quality. However, among the dimensions of sexual satisfaction, only the desire to have a sexual relationship had a significant inverse relationship with poor sleep quality (p=0.038; r=- 0.17).

Based on these findings, except for the desire to have sex, other dimensions of sexual satisfaction, such as sexual quality, sexual compatibility, and sexual attitude, were not related to their undesirable sleep quality. Therefore, by teaching techniques to increase sexual desire, it is possible to improve the quality of sleeping in women going through perimenopause.

Several factors can affect the family stability one of which is the sexual satisfaction of couples. This study aims to determine the factors related to sexual satisfaction based on the Predisposing, Reinforcing, and Enabling Constructs in terms of Educational Diagnosis and Evaluation (PRECEDE) model in women referred to comprehensive health service centers in Torbat Heydariyeh, Razavi Khorasan Province, Iran.

In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 300 married women covered by the comprehensive health service centers of Torbat Heydariyeh County in 2019 participated. The collection tool was the 47-item Enrich marital satisfaction scale and a researcher-made questionnaire for finding the factors related to sexual satisfaction. The collected data were analyzed in SPSS software, version 20, using Pearson’s correlation test and linear regression analysis.

Sexual satisfaction of women had a significant and weak correlation with knowledge (r=0.18), attitude (r=0.25) and predisposing factors (r=0.35) (P<0.001). Attitude and predisposing factors could significantly predict 20% of the variance in sexual satisfaction (P<0.001).

Knowledge and attitude towards sexual issues and the predisposing factors have a significant relationship with sexual satisfaction of women in Torbat Heydariyeh. Considering the predictive role of attitude and predisposing factors, it is recommended to use appropriate interventions to prevent the family disintegration by emphasizing these factors.

The use of narcotic and stimulant substances has become an important and challenging social issue due to its adverse effects and negative consequences for society and the entire family system. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between sexual satisfaction, quality of life, and marital conflicts in patients addicted to Methamphetamine. The research employed a descriptive-correlational method. The study’s statistical population comprised all individuals addicted to stimulants who were referred to Shiraz Psychiatric Hospital in September 1400. According to Morgan’s table, a sample of 80 individuals was selected using convenience sampling. Data were collected using the Larson Sexual Satisfaction Questionnaire, the Frenz and Power Quality of Life Questionnaire, and the Sanaei Marital Conflict Questionnaire. The collected data were subsequently analyzed using Pearson’s correlation method. The results showed a significant positive correlation between sexual satisfaction and quality of life, including its various aspects. This suggests that an increase in sexual satisfaction is associated with an enhancement in the quality of life. Conversely, the study found a significant negative correlation between sexual satisfaction and marital conflict along with its components. This indicates that an increase in sexual satisfaction by one unit results in a decrease in marital conflicts by approximately 0.478 units. The study’s findings support the idea that enhancing sexual satisfaction can potentially improve one’s quality of life. This improvement, in turn, can contribute to a reduction in marital conflicts in various ways.

Considering that a decline in sexual satisfaction after assisted reproductive treatment failure can cause a decrease in the overall quality and satisfaction of life, the present study was conducted to compare the effect of sexual counseling based on EX-PLISSIT and BETTER models on the sexual satisfaction of infertile women following the failure of assisted reproductive technologies.

Methods & Materials: 

This randomized clinical trial, conducted in 2022, involved 66 infertile women who had experienced unsuccessful assisted reproductive treatments and were referred to the Milad Infertility Center of Imam Reza (AS) Hospital in Mashhad, Iran. The participants were divided into two intervention groups – EX-PLISSIT and BETTER – and received individual sexual counseling across four weekly sessions, comprising two face-to-face and two virtual sessions. Data were collected using the Sexual Satisfaction Scale for Women (SSSW) and subsequently analyzed using SPSS software version 25, through chi-square, independent t-tests, Mann-Whitney, and Wilcoxon tests.

After the intervention, there were no statistically significant differences in the total scores of sexual satisfaction and its components between the two groups (P>0.05), with the exception of relational anxiety (P=0.021). Intra-group comparisons revealed a significant increase in the total scores of sexual satisfaction and its components within each group after the intervention, as compared to before the intervention (P<0.05).

Sexual counseling utilizing the EX-PLISSIT and BETTER models was found to be an effective, affordable, and side-effect-free method in enhancing sexual satisfaction among infertile women after the failure of assisted reproductive methods, particularly by addressing relational anxiety.

Marital infidelity usually occurs after one or more sexual-emotional needs are not met in marital relationships, and it brings irreparable consequences for couples and marital relationships, consequences that affect not only the psychological world of the couple but also their physical security. The serious consequences that marital infidelity brings for couples from various psychological, physical, and social dimensions have made the examination of marital infidelity and the underlying factors and causes of it doubly important. In a general and valid classification, researchers and experts have divided the factors related to marital infidelity into three areas: individual differences (characteristics and attitudes), the nature of the relationship (level of commitment and satisfaction with the relationship), environmental conditions (opportunity of infidelity or attractiveness of the person). The serious consequences that marital infidelity brings for couples from various psychological, physical, and social dimensions have made the examination of marital infidelity and its underlying factors and causes doubly important; Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the structural relationships of the tendency to marital infidelity based on the orientation of dialogue and listening and conformity with the mediation of attachment styles and sexual satisfaction.

In this descriptive-correlational study, the research population included all men and women who referred to counseling centers in Mashhad, and 220 people were selected from among them using the multi-stage cluster sampling method. The population of the current research was all women and men who referred to counseling centers in Mashhad and since the present study was conducted on the tendency to extramarital relationships, there was no restriction on women and men referring to counseling centers in Mashhad to be selected in the sample group. The research sample in the present study was selected using multi-stage cluster sampling method, in this way, first two regions were randomly selected from among the regions of Mashhad city, and then 10 centers were randomly selected from among the counseling and psychological service centers of the said regions. Finally, 220 people (22 people from each center) were randomly selected from among men and women who came to these centers with the aim of receiving psychological and counseling services regarding marital issues. Considering the necessity of observing the ethical principles and the informed consent of the authorities to participate in the research, we discussed the subject of the research with the selected subjects and if any of the subjects expressed their unwillingness to participate in the research, we replaced them with another subject. The tools used to collect data include questionnaires including Mark Watley's Extramarital Relations Questionnaire (2006), Koerner and Fitzpatrick's Revised Family Communication Patterns Questionnaire (2002), Hazen and Shaver's Adult Attachment Styles Questionnaire (1987) and Hudson's Sexual Satisfaction Questionnaire - Harrison and Kruskap (1981) used the structural equation modeling method to analyze the data.

The results of the present study indicated that the orientation of communication directly and through the three variables of secure attachment style, avoidant attachment style and ambivalent attachment style was able to predict the tendency to marital infidelity. The results of the research also indicated the effect of the communication pattern of conformity orientation directly and indirectly through attachment styles on the tendency to commit marital infidelity. The amount of direct and indirect effects of the variables is listed in Table 5. The data in this table show that the direct and indirect effects of the communication pattern of conformity orientation on the tendency to cheat are reversed; In other words, the increase in conformity orientation scores is both directly and indirectly related to the decrease in betrayal tendency scores and vice versa. Also, the direct effect of secure attachment on the tendency to infidelity is reversed, but the direct effects of anxious and ambivalent attachment styles on the tendency to infidelity are positive, which means that with the increase in the scores in each of these two styles, the scores of the tendency to infidelity also increase.

In general, it can be stated that the important role of communication patterns in the emergence of problems related to marital satisfaction and especially the tendency to extramarital relationships makes it necessary to pay attention to this issue and provide the necessary training in this field in the future activities of couple therapists and experts in the marital field. Different communication patterns can affect the tendency to extramarital relationships through changes in emotional expression styles and attachment styles. Communication patterns and how to use them through changes in relationships lead to misunderstandings or open relationships. These clear understandings or relationships can affect couples' attachment patterns and confirm or correct their previous styles. When couples choose dysfunctional communication patterns, it causes the couple's unhealthy attachment styles to be strengthened, or even the couple's previously secure attachment style changes over time and turns into an insecure attachment style. This issue causes couples to deal with uncertainty about their relationships and cannot consider their relationship as a safe relationship and therefore try to search for safe relationships rather than moving from some relationships to other relationships. The results also indicated the effect of the communication pattern of conformity orientation directly and indirectly through attachment styles on the tendency to marital infidelity. The results of this research also show that sexual satisfaction cannot play a significant role as a mediator in the relationship between the communication pattern of conformity orientation and the tendency to commit marital infidelity.

Candida vaginitis is a common disease in women which is accompanied by annoying symptoms in the genital area. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the level of sexual satisfaction and its related factors in women with and without candida vaginitis.

This research is a cross-sectional study. In this study, 180 women referring to women's specialist clinic, Ayatollah Kashani Hospital, Jiroft city, were selected by convenience sampling method and divided into two groups of 90 patients (cases) and non-patients (controls). Data were collected using Larson's sexual satisfaction questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 19 software and descriptive and inferential statistical tests.

The average score of sexual satisfaction in the group of affected women was 71.87 ±7.82 and in the group of non-affected women it was 77.30 ±7.29. The amount of sexual satisfaction in the control group is more than the case group, which is a statistically significant difference (p<0.05). It was also found that women with higher socio-economic status and education have more sexual satisfaction (p<0.05).

According to the significant difference in sexual satisfaction in the group of infected and non-infected women, it can be concluded that candida infection is another variable influencing the level of women's satisfaction in sex, As a result, paying attention to this variableis recommended in examining women with complaints of decreased sexual satisfaction.

Infertility is recognized worldwide as an important public health problem that is related to many psychological variables, so this research was conducted with the aim of investigating the effectiveness of acceptance-based therapy on anxiety, sexual satisfaction and depression in infertile women aged 30 to 40, focusing on the city of Mashhad. The research design is experimental of pre-test-post-test type with a follow-up phase. The statistical population of the research includes infertile women referring to medical centers in Mashhad city. The number of subjects is 45 and 15 people from each group were selected and studied by random sampling from infertility treatment centers. In the pre-test phase of the experimental and control groups, each of the research questionnaires (depression, anxiety and sexual satisfaction) were answered and their opinions were collected, and then the experimental group received the educational intervention based on acceptance and commitment for a period of He received 8 sessions of 90 minutes. The content validity of the questionnaires was obtained using the opinion of professors, and the reliability coefficient of the questionnaires was obtained using Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 78%, and data analysis was done using SPSS software. The results showed that treatment based on acceptance and commitment is effective on sex satisfaction, anxiety and depression of infertile women. It seems that this treatment method can be used to improve the mentioned variables.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of family therapy based on family consolidation on marital conflicts and sexual satisfaction of couples applying for divorce.

The research method was semi-experimental with experimental and control groups. The statistical population of this research included all couples applying for divorce who referred to counseling centers in Kerman city in 2023. 30 couples were selected as available and were replaced in two experimental (15 couples) and control (15 couples) groups randomly and by lottery method. Family therapy intervention based on family consolidation was conducted in 8 sessions twice a week for 90 minutes and after 3 months of follow-up. In order to collect data, Barati and Sanai's Marital Conflict Questionnaire and Larson's Sexual Satisfaction Questionnaire were used. In order to analyze the data, descriptive statistics tests (mean and standard deviation) and analysis of variance with repeated measurements were used with SPSS version 24 software.

The results showed that family therapy based on family consolidation had an effect on reducing marital conflicts (P < 0.001, F = 37.24) and increasing sexual satisfaction (P < 0.001, F = 126.34) of couples applying for divorce (P < 0.001).

According to the results of this research, it is recommended to use family therapy based on family consolidation in reducing marital conflicts and increasing sexual satisfaction of couples applying for divorce.
