Pearson's correlation coefficient and simultaneous regression analysis were used for data analysis. Results: According to the results, sexual satisfaction and health literacy in diabetic men had significant positive relationships with the women’s marital intimacy (P< 0.001). Furthermore, regression results indicated that sexual satisfaction and health literacy had significant multiple correlations with marital intimacy (P< 0.001). Conclusion: The results highlighted the growing importance of paying attention to the roles of women’s sexual satisfaction and their diabetic husbands' health literacy in improving marital intimacy and strengthening both family and marital relationships.
