Abstract:

Sexuality and its manifestation constitute some of the most complex of human behavior. Sexual dysfunction is more prevalent in women than in men. Much research in to sexual dysfunction is being undertaken, but it is still poorly understood. Our knowledge of female sexuality is less developed than our knowledge of male sexuality. There is not sufficient evidence about relationship with partner and sexual problems in Iran yet. Therefore the aim of this research is to understand, relation between marital satisfaction and sexual dysfunction among Iranian married women.

and their partners may have unresolved feeling of disappointment, anger, and hurt that comes to characterize their

relationship and to impair their ses lives. Finally, power dynamics may harm a couple’s sexual relationship. Women have

been subordinated socially and economically by men for centuries and, though they now occupy a relatively more equal

position in society, this lingering inequality may make it difficult for women to feel comfortable and assertive with sexual

partners, even more, domestic violence and other forms of abuse within a relationship may lead to sexual problems,
