Given the importance of attachment styles and mental health in different areas of life including interpersonal relationships, especially marital and family relationships, which is more important, the present study examines the role of attachment styles and mental health in Interpersonal relationships will be addressed by students. The research design method is descriptive multiple regression. The statistical population included all male and female undergraduate students of Razi University Social Sciences who visited the library of this school. From this population, 100 individuals (50 girls and 50 boys) were selected from non-probability type of study and Barton's Communication Skills Questionnaire (1990), Goldberg's Mental Health Questionnaire (1972), and the Hazen & Shaver Attachment Test (1990). 1987), performed on them. Data were analyzed using multiple regression statistical methods. The hypothesis of the present model was generally confirmed at level (p <0. 001), and partially confirmed by secure attachment at level (p <0. 001) and mental health at level (p <0. 04). Thus, secure attachment style and mental health are powerful predictors for interpersonal relationships, and we conclude that structured education about the three variables mentioned can lead to the formation of a healthy family system.

In pursuing approach motives for sacrifice, spouses sacrifice to create a sense of increased happiness or intimacy with their spouse, whereas in pursuing avoidance motives for sacrifice, spouses sacrifice to avoid conflicts and disapproval. Approach motives for sacrifice lead to positive emotions and increase marital quality but avoidance motives for sacrifice are related with reductions in marital quality. The results of studies on the association between motives for sacrifice and marital quality are different and contradictory. The purpose of this study was to estimate the overall effect size of this association. To achieve this purpose, we searched the literature for dissertations and research articles published in scientific journals from 1998 to 2018. Based on our research inclusion criterion, 6 research studies, including 4 dissertations and 2 articles, were included in a meta-analysis measuring 18 estimates of effect size for the association between approach motives and marital quality and 18 estimates of effect size for the association between avoidance motives and marital quality. Investigating publication bias showed that studies on the association between approach and avoidance motives for sacrifice and marital quality were not biased. The results also showed a significantly positive correlation (r=0. 385, p<0. 01) between approach motives for sacrifice and marital quality and a negative correlation (r=-0. 185) between avoidance motives for sacrifice and marital quality. According to Cohen's criteria, the effect size for the association between approach motives for sacrifice and marital quality is a modest effect and the association between avoidance motives for sacrifice and marital quality is a small effect. Investigating the role of moderator variables indicated that the magnitude of the effect size for approach motives for sacrifice is influenced by social and cultural context. Theoretical and practical implications of these results are discussed in detail.

Marital life can be subject to various risks, the most severe of which is marital distress that leads to emotional separation and divorce. Although different and sometimes known researches have been done in this field, it seems that it is necessary to address this issue with other theoretical approaches. Therefore, the present study aimed to represent a picture of the living world of women who have experienced marital distress, relying on a phenomenological approach. The population of the study was included women with marital distress referred to Tohid Clinic in Kermanshah. The sampling was purposeful that, exploratory interviews conducted with 6 women, then, the main interview was carried out and the sampling was saturated with 16 people who did not have an obvious mental illness. Using the episodic interview and drawing on the phenomenological method in Giorgi-Wertes psychology, the perceptual world of women is depicted. 5 general structure (in-frame), including "Contradictory intention, " "Mutual understanding of the living experience, " "Emotional empathy, " "Pre-marital couples' conceptions, " and "Learned objectives " describes the experience of marital distress in the perceptual world of studied women. Thus, the present study results suggest that clinical therapists use these concepts in their counseling to inform couples in premarital counseling.

Sexual satisfaction can have a significant effect on marital relationships and satisfaction. The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between sexual dissatisfaction and marital burnout with the moderating role of marital conflict. This is a descriptive and correlational based on path analysis within the structural equation modeling. The questionnaire used in this study is Hilbert index of sexual assertiveness (HISA) (1992), Index of sexual satisfaction (ISS) (1981), Barati and Sanaii index of marital confict (1375) and Couple Burnout questionnaire (CBM) (1996). The sample is the all women referring to consultation centers of Zahedan (320 person) in winter in 2015. Using clustering method, a total of 150 subjects were selected. The data were analyzed using SPSS 20 and LISREL 8. 8. Findings show that marital conflict had a moderating role on the relationship between sexual assertiveness and marital burnout (B = 0. 23 P < 0. 05). It also plays a moderating role on the relationship between sexual dissatisfaction and marital burnout(B = 0. 11, P < 0. 05). Result, there is a meaningful correlation between sexual dysfunction, sexual dissatisfaction, couple burnout, and marital conflict. The less the sexual accomplishment is, the more the spousal conflict and disappointment are, and the increase in sexual dissatisfaction would raise spousal conflict and disappointment. Similarly, the general results show that marital conflict as intermediary between the parameters of sexual dysfunction and couple burnout as well as between sexual dissatisfaction and couple burnout.

As life gets more complicated, marital beliefs and expectations have changed a lot. Therefore, young couples need to receive the necessary training in this area. The Couples Care Program ‘ CARE’ was introduced as a premarital education program aimed at improving premarital relationships and marital interactions. The purpose of the present study was to investigating of effectiveness of pre-marriage counseling through the couples care program «CARE» on expectations and communicational beliefs in marriage applicants.

The study population consisted of individuals referring to counseling and psychological services centers in Urmia in the first half of 2018, who were selected from among 60 volunteers who had a definite decision to marry. They randomly divided into two groups of 30 persons (one intervention group by CARE, one control group). For measuring the dependent variables, Marital Expectations Questionnaire (Omidvar, 2009), the communicational Beliefs Questionnaire (Eidelson & Epstein, 1982) were used as research tools. The experimental group received the CARE training program for 6 sessions. After data collection, repeated measure ANOVA was used for analysis. The results showed that CARE pre-marriage counseling has been able to improve marital expectations (f=53. 199, p<0. 05), and communicational beliefs (f=15. 816, p<0. 05) among married applicants in Urmia. Based on this, it is suggested that family counselors and psychologists, in pre-marital counseling, use the concepts of CARE “ training program in pre-marriage treatment centers and procedures.
