Introduction: Couples with marital conflicts have many problems and challenges in their lives, especially in the field of sex and marital relationships. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of solution-focused brief couple therapy on sexual satisfaction and marital fusion in couples with marital conflicts.
Methods: The present research was quasi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design with experimental and control groups. The statistical population of this study was all couples with marital conflicts who were referred to counseling centers in Ahvaz City in the autumn of 2023. The participants of this research were 32 people (16 couples) selected by purposive sampling method and randomly assigned into two equal groups, including experimental and control groups. The experimental group was trained for eight sessions of 90 minutes with a solution-focused brief couple therapy method; during this time, the control group did not receive any training. The data of the present research were collected with a marital adjustment scale, sexual satisfaction scale, and marital fusion questionnaire and analyzed with statistical tests of chi-square and multivariate analysis of covariance in SPSS-26 software.
Results: The findings of this research showed that couples with marital conflicts in the experimental and control groups did not significantly differ in age, occupation, and education level (P>0.05). Also, solution-focused brief couple therapy significantly increased sexual satisfaction and marital fusion in couples with marital conflicts (P<0.001).
Conclusions: According to the results of this study, planning to use solution-focused brief couple therapy intervention to increase sexual satisfaction and marital fusion in couples with marital conflicts is necessary.
