Privacy as a Field of Interaction and Conflict between Iranian Spouses

The present article investigates the privacy among Iranian spouses. Regarding the fact that privacy among spouses is a relatively unknown subject in Iran، and particularity since the problems that lead to conflict among spouses stem from interferences in the affairs of one another، researches which focus on privacy of spouses are necessary in our academic sphere. So the aim of the present research is to find out the boundaries of the privacy among spouses and the elements and contents of the privacy. The findings show that the privacy includes wide range of subjects and matters، and also is relative in general. Also it is found that privacy is the field of interactions and negotiations for some rights and privileges. The outcome depends of two factors: the degree of penetrability (how easy or hard it is to penetrate it); and the degree of intimacy and trust among spouses. They determine whether the relationship moves in the direction of satisfaction or dissatisfaction in the married life. If trust and intimacy between them prevail، the privacy circle is penetrable and a sense of security and satisfaction comes through; and if distrust along prevails and privacy becomes impenetrable، and consequently the feeling of insecurity and dissatisfaction comes through. The former will lead to tranquility and peace among them and the latter to turmoil and unrest
