Abstract

It has been proposed that women’s sexual behaviors and attitudes are more likely to change due to factors such as satisfaction with married life. This suggests a relationship between marital and sexual satisfaction. Therefore, the present cross-sectional study aimed to predict sexual satisfaction by the marital satisfaction components. The participants were 235 married women in Isfahan, Iran, that were recruited from kindergartens, parks, and cultural centers through convenience sampling. The data were collected using the ENRICH Marital Satisfaction Scale and the Index of Sexual Satisfaction and regression analysis was used to examine the contributions of marital satisfaction components to sexual satisfaction. The results revealed a significant relationship between marital and sexual satisfaction. Among the subscales of marital satisfaction, the subscales of marital satisfaction and idealistic distortion were predictive of sexual satisfaction. According to the results, it can be concluded that the components of marital satisfaction are correlated with sexual satisfaction and it seems that preparing the ground and providing the necessary training for enhancing marital satisfaction might increase sexual satisfaction in couples.
