Happiness, cheerfulness, and a positive attitude toward life events play a prominent role in marital satisfaction can significantly contribute to creating a sense of security and optimism for couples. The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of happiness training on students' marital satisfaction.

This quasi-experimental study was conducted on 64 students at Gonabad University of Medical Sciences in Iran. Participants were selected using a systematic sampling method and were randomly assigned to intervention and control groups using permuted blocks of size 4. The happiness training intervention consisted of six 2-hour sessions, conducted once a week by a psychiatric nurse exclusive for the intervention group. A demographic form and the Enrich Scale were used before and after the intervention in both groups. The data were analyzed using SPSS software, including descriptive statistics and analytical statistical tests such as chi-square and paired t-tests. The significance level was determined to be less than 0.05.

The comparison of mean marital satisfaction between the two groups did not show a significant difference before the intervention (P = 0.630). However, the mean marital satisfaction after the intervention had a statistically significant difference (P < 0.001). Comparing the mean marital satisfaction before and after the intervention in the intervention group revealed a significant difference (P < 0.001), but this difference was not significant in the control group (P = 0.520).

The results indicate that happiness training has a practical impact on the marital satisfaction of married students. An important step to reduce marital conflicts and increase couple's satisfaction is to hold workshops focused on happiness training.

Marital satisfaction in couples depends on sexual satisfaction and better understanding of each other's needs. Physical changes such as overweight and obesity can negatively affect people's perception of their body and appearance and endanger their marital satisfaction. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of schema therapy on marital satisfaction and sexual schemas in overweight women.

The current research method is semi-experimental and a pre-post-test design with two experimental and control groups was used to collect data. The statistical population of the study was made up of all women suffering from weight gain in Tehran city living in region 1 in 2023. 30 people were selected by convenience and voluntary sampling and then, randomly divided into two experimental (15 people) and control groups. (15 people) were appointed. The experimental group received schema therapy intervention during 12 sessions of 90 minutes. The measurements used in this research included marital satisfaction (Fowers & Olson, 1993), sexual schema (Andersen and Cyranowski, 1994). The data was analyzed through spss-v24 software with ANCOVA method.

The findings showed that schema therapy intervention significantly improved marital satisfaction and sexual schemas (P<0.05).

A deeper understanding of childhood schemas, as discussed in the schema therapy intervention, can help to understand the dysfunctional personality traits that interfere with the treatment of overweight individuals. Also, by knowing the schemas, clients can achieve adaptive and compatible coping methods in married life.

Marital satisfaction is one of the factors related to the mental health and occupational stress of nurses. Therefore, the present study w was conducted to examine the impact of PERSEDE model-based intervention on the marital satisfaction of female nurses working in Kashani Shahrekord Hospital.

Quarantine and social distancing due to COVID 19 has led to anxiety, anger, stress, and anger in people and has had a negative impact on physical and mental health and the quality of marital relationships. Due to the lack of sufficient studies and also the fact that no study was found in the literature review that compared this approach over the phone and face-to-face, this study was conducted with the aim of comparing the effect of telephone and face-to-face counseling with the explicit approach on women's marital interactions.

This quasi-experimental study was conducted in 2022 in the health centers of Tabriz city on women aged 18 to 40 with a sexual performance score of less than 28. The participants were assigned to two groups of face-to-face counseling and telephone counseling with a ratio of 1:1 using a computerized random number table with blocks of four and six. Counseling based on explicit approach was done in the face-to-face counseling group during three meetings of 60-90 minutes, and for the telephone counseling group, there were three individual telephone counseling sessions of 60-90 minutes. Pre-test questionnaires including sexual performance, quality of sexual life and marital satisfaction were completed before and eight weeks after the end of the intervention.

The mean (standard deviation) score of the quality of sexual life after the intervention was significantly increased in both face-to-face and telephone counseling groups compared to before the intervention. Also the mean (standard deviation) of the total score of sexual performance and marital satisfaction after the intervention in the face-to-face counseling group was significantly higher than that of the telephone counseling group.

Using counseling based on ex-PLISSIT approach in both face-to-face and telephone counseling groups, are effective in sexual health. Therefore, during crises such as a pandemic, or other restrictions to hold face-to-face counseling sessions, telephone consultations are useful.

Practical Implications:

 Counseling based on ex-PLISSIT approach is effective for sexual health.

Marital satisfaction is related to some psychological variables, including attachment behaviors; Therefore, the purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of attachment behaviors on women's marital satisfaction with the mediating role of online surveillance.

Methods and Materials: 

The design of the current research is a correlation design of the structural equation modeling type, which was a multivariate correlation method. The statistical population in this research was all married women in Khuzestan province whose husbands used social networks. Using the non-discriminatory snowball sampling method, 350 married women with electronic literacy and familiar with using social networks were selected. Subjects responded to the scale of the modified version of the attachment behavior scale of Sandberg et al. 2012, the online surveillance scale of the modified version of Ellison 2007 and the marital satisfaction scale. SPSS version 27 statistical software and structural equation modeling using Amos version 24 software were used to evaluate the proposed model.

The results of the findings showed that the direct effect of attachment behaviors on online marital supervision and the direct effect of online marital supervision on marital satisfaction is significant p<0.05. Also, the direct effect of attachment behaviors on marital satisfaction is significant p<0.05. The indirect effect of attachment behaviors on marital satisfaction through online surveillance is also significant p<0.05. Considering the significance of the effect of attachment behaviors on marital satisfaction in the model, it should be said that online surveillance plays a partial mediating role in the relationship between attachment behaviors and marital satisfaction.

According to the findings obtained from the present research, it can be said that attachment behaviors through online surveillance have an effect on the marital satisfaction of married women.

Satisfaction in married life plays a valuable role in mental health and it is considered the main role for the continuation of the life of a relationship, based on this, it seems necessary to examine the role of factors that lead to the improvement of marital satisfaction, so the present study with The objective of mediating the role of coping styles in the relationship between spiritual health and marital satisfaction of nurses was carried out.

The descriptive-correlation research method was path analysis. The research population was all married female nurses working in public and private medical centers in Tehran in the second six months of 2022; 409 people were included in the study using available sampling method and through social networks. The expressions of data collection included Palotzin and Ellison's (1982) spiritual health questionnaires, Kalzbeck et al.'s coping styles (2006) and Hudson's marital satisfaction (1992). SPSS version 22 and Amos software were used for data analysis.

The results showed that spiritual health has a negative effect on the avoidance strategy (β=-0.490, p<0.01) and the emotion-oriented strategy (β=-0.471, p<0.01) and on the problem-oriented strategy (β = 0.537, p < 0.01) have a positive direct effect. Spiritual health affects marital satisfaction both directly (β=0.160, p<0.01) and indirectly (β=0.510, p<0.01) and through the mediation of coping styles. Avoidance strategy (β=0.118, p<0.01) and emotion-oriented strategy (β=0.292, p<0.01) have a direct positive effect on marital satisfaction. Problem-oriented strategy has a direct negative effect on marital satisfaction (β=0.587, p<0.01).

The results showed that coping styles had a mediating role in the relationship between spiritual health and marital satisfaction of nurses, and the results can help nurses to know and improve marital satisfaction. Therefore, empowerment and educational programs with the aim of increasing knowledge in the field of coping styles and increasing spiritual health can have an effective role in improving life satisfaction.

Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the structural equation of marital satisfaction based on personality traits (FFI-NEO) and attachment styles based on the mediating role of self-compassion among couples in the second decade of life.

Methods and Materials:

 The present method was descriptive and correlation type. The statistical population included all the couples of Isfahan city who were living in the second decade of their life together. The sample size was determined based on Cochran's formula and 384 couples (768 people) were selected using multi-stage cluster random sampling method. The data were collected through Enrich's Marital Satisfaction Questionnaire (1989), Costa and McCrae's Five-Factor Personality Questionnaire (1997), Hazen and Shiver's Adult Attachment Questionnaire (1987), and Shafqat Neff's Questionnaire (2003) and analyzed with PLS software.

Another finding of the research showed that the structural equation of marital satisfaction based on personality traits (FFI-NEO) can be predicted based on the mediating role of self-compassion. Finally, the structural equation of marital satisfaction based on attachment styles can be predicted based on the mediating role of self-compassion.

It seems that self-compassion can affect marital satisfaction, and on the other hand, favorable personality traits and secure attachment style can increase marital satisfaction.

Marital satisfaction serves as a fundamental predictor of stability and well-being within individuals' lives and families.

This study aims to develop a structural model that predicts marital satisfaction among young couples by examining the interplay between behavioral activation/inhibition systems and attachment styles.

The current study was a description of structural equations. A sample of 370 young couples in Tehran during the year 2021 was selected using convenience sampling. Data were collected through demographic questionnaires, Enrich's Marital Satisfaction Questionnaire (1998), the Behavioral Activation/ Inhibition Scale (1994), and the Adult Attachment Scale (2015). Path analysis was conducted using SPSS version 25 and LISREL version 8.8 for data analysis.

The results of the path analysis revealed several significant findings. Firstly, the inhibition system demonstrated a direct negative impact on marital satisfaction (ß=-0.16, P<0.05), along with ambivalent insecure attachment (ß=-0.42, P<0.01) and avoidant insecure attachment (ß=-0.19, P<0.05). Conversely, secure attachment displayed a direct and positive effect on marital satisfaction (ß=0.26, P<0.01). Furthermore, the inhibition system exhibited a direct and positive influence on avoidant insecure attachment (ß=0.18, P<0.01) and ambivalent insecure attachment (ß=0.19, P<0.01). Additionally, the activation system had a direct positive effect on secure attachment (ß=0.28, P<0.05) but a direct negative effect on avoidant attachment (ß=-0.30, P<0.01).

The results of the study underscore the direct predictive role of the activation/inhibition system in marital satisfaction, with attachment styles playing an indirect role. Therefore, therapists should consider these variables to enhance satisfaction levels in couples.

Personality traits and loneliness are among the factors affecting marital satisfaction. The present study aimed to determine the structural relationships between personality traits and marital satisfaction with the mediation of loneliness in women and men referring to counseling centers in Ilam City. 

The research method was descriptive-correlational and the statistical population of this study included all women and men who referred to family counseling centers in Ilam City in 2019 with complaints of marital problems, 320 of whom were selected by non-random and convenience sampling method form among them. To collect data "The demographic Questionnaire, "NEO Five-Factor Inventory", "ENRICH Marital Satisfaction Scale" and "The University of California Loneliness Scale" was used. The validity of the instruments was measured using content validity by a qualitative method and reliability using the internal consistency method by calculating Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The collected data were analyzed in SPSS .24 and Amos. 24.

There is a negative and significant correlation between neuroticism (P=0.001, β=0.116) and loneliness (P=0.001, β=0.258) with marital satisfaction and there is a positive and significant correlation between agreeableness (P=0.001, β=0.327) and conscientiousness (P=0.008, β=0.185) with marital satisfaction. There is a negative and significant correlation between neuroticism and marital satisfaction with the mediation of loneliness (P=0.016, β=-0.079) and there is a positive and significant correlation between agreeableness (P=0.017, β=0.074) and conscientiousness (P=0.038, β=0.059) with marital satisfaction with the mediation of loneliness.

There are structural direct and indirect relationships between the personality traits of neuroticism, agreeableness and conscientiousness with marital satisfaction with the mediation of loneliness. Therefore, it is suggested that couples and family therapists, in counseling and couple therapy, to increase marital satisfaction, should also pay attention to people's personality manifestations and feelings of loneliness caused by it.

 Pproviding physical and mental health for women is one of the important factors in the stability of family and society. In this regard, one of the psychosomatic issues is premenstrual syndrome. This research was conducted to investigate the structural pattern of cognitive emotion regulation based on psychological capital with the mediating role of marital satisfaction in women with premenstrual syndrome.

 The current research was of a correlational design using structural equations. The statistical population included all women with premenstrual syndrome, who visited the family planning midwifery clinic in Kermanshah in 2018-2019.

Background &

From the distant past, the concept of marital commitment has attracted the attention of many people from the fields of family and marriage studies and has been considered a decision for life's survival and durability. Marital commitment is one of the important variables in understanding marriage and has a special and unavoidable relationship with marital satisfaction. Marital commitment means how much couples value their marital relationship and how motivated they are to maintain and continue it. In other words, commitment in married life is the concept of emotional feeling and motivation based on which couples focus on maintaining and remaining in their relationship. The idea of marital commitment is understood as a basic pillar in marriage and the first emotional and legal commitment that is concluded in adulthood, and it is considered the starting point in the growth and psychological maturity of people in society. The first ones who studied the importance of commitment in marital relationships were Dean and Spanier (1974), who defined marital commitment as the stable desire of couples to maintain and continue marriage. According to them, commitment is a smart and conscious choice, which increasingly regulates the marital relationship. A person commits to different things in life, but the issue becomes critical when the commitment is raised in marriage. Regarding the integrated training of time perspective and mindfulness, it has not been widely used so far and the effects of this training on marital variables require more research; therefore, the purpose of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of integrated time perspective and mindfulness training on marital commitment and emotion control in mothers with low marital satisfaction.

This research was quasi-experimental and implemented in the form of a pre-test-post-test-follow-up plan with a control group. The statistical population consisted of mothers with low marital satisfaction in the 5th district of Tehran in 1401. 30 people were selected by the available sampling method by observing the entry and exit criteria and were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. Before the start of the intervention, both groups participated in the pre-test phase, and after that, the experimental group underwent integrated time perspective and mindfulness training in 12 60-minute sessions. The control group also did not receive any intervention. Then both experimental groups participated in the post-test stage and after 3 months the follow-up stage was done. To measure marital commitment, the standard questionnaire of marital commitment by Adams and Jones (1997) was used, and Williams' emotion control scale (1997) was used for emotion control. The data was analyzed by mixed analysis of variance.

The mean scores of marital commitment and emotion control variables in the integrated training group of time perspective and mindfulness increased compared to the control group in the post-test and follow-up stages compared to the pre-test stage. To investigate the effectiveness of integrated time perspective and mindfulness training on marital commitment and emotional control in mothers with low marital satisfaction, a variance test with intergroup repeated measurement was used. Before performing the analysis of variance test with inter-group repeated measurement, the presumption of normality of the data was performed with the Shapiro-Wilk test. This assumption implies that the observed difference between the distribution of scores of the sample group and the normal distribution in the population is equal to zero. The results of this test showed that all the variables follow the normal distribution in pre-test-post-test and follow-up. The results showed that the effect of integrated time perspective and mindfulness training on marital commitment (F=0.001, P<0.001) and emotion control (F=50.65, P<0.001) is significant.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of time perspective and mindfulness training on marital commitment and emotional control of mothers with low marital satisfaction. To achieve this goal in the form of a quasi-experimental design, two groups of 15 women with low marital satisfaction were selected using available methods and were assigned to two experimental and control groups. The experimental group received 12 one-hour sessions of integrated time perspective and mindfulness training, and after the pre-test, post-test, and follow-up analyses, the results of the analyses showed that a group of mothers with low marital satisfaction who participated in the training sessions had a significant improvement in They showed marital commitment and emotional control. This finding is consistent with the results of previous research. Mindfulness training for women with marital boredom can increase their marital commitment along with intimacy and marital happiness. In explaining the effect of the combined training of time perspective and mindfulness on marital commitment, it can be said: that this training method is focused on cognitive abilities, attention, alertness, perception, and capacity of people to pay attention to the present time. Therefore, this method can create changes in the processes thought patterns, and attitudes of a person. In other words, instead of changing the content of the mind, the goal of mindfulness training is to develop non-prejudiced attitudes and the connection between thoughts and emotions when they occur. In this way, living in the present and ignoring judgmental and ineffective thoughts in women with low marital satisfaction can lead to more marital commitment. In addition, this training can lead to more self-compassion in mothers, and the increase in self-compassion makes them blame themselves less when they fail and with the increase in marital satisfaction, the level of their marital commitment also increases. The combined training of time perspective and mindfulness can strengthen cognitive coping processes such as positive reappraisal and strengthen emotion regulation skills such as distress tolerance, problem-solving training, and ignoring techniques training, at the time of the onset of marital problems from the individual against mood dysfunction caused by Protect from stress and rumination. From these results, it can be concluded that marital commitment and emotional control of mothers with low marital satisfaction can be increased with integrated training methods of time perspective and mindfulness.
