Journal Title: Health, Spirituality and Medical Ethics - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2

Abstract

Background and Objectives: Considering the importance of assessing and identifying effective factors on marital intimacy, this study was conducted to investigate the predictive role of religious attitude and family problem solving among women. Methods: This is a descriptive-correlational study in which 2860 women in Iran were selected by random cluster sampling and then assessed by Marital Intimacy Questionnaire, Family Problem Solving Questionnaire, and Religious Attitude Questionnaire (RAQ). Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and stepwise multiple regression. Results: The results of Pearson correlation showed that there was a significant and positive correlation of marital intimacy and religious attitude with family problem solving. In addition, the results of stepwise regression indicated that religious attitude and family problem solving could predict 43% of variance in marital intimacy. Hence, religious attitude and family problem solving can contribute to creating marital intimacy. Conclusion: Marital intimacy plays a fundamental role in entering into successful marriage; therefore, with regard to marriage, it is necessary to pay more attention to these factors.
