Designing a structural model of marital satisfaction based on the components of spiritual systemic couple therapy with the mediating role of cohesion in the family

The family, as the smallest and most important social unit, requires extensive psychological investment. The aim of this study was to develop a structural model of marital satisfaction based on the components of systemic spiritual couple therapy with the mediating role of cohesion in the family. Research method: The research method was descriptive-correlational and 384 people were selected as samples from the statistical population of the study including couples in Isfahan city based on the available sampling method. The subjects responded to the instruments of this study including the Jan Bozorgy Systemic-Spiritual Couple Therapy Questionnaires, Enrich Marital Satisfaction, and Family Cohesion. The data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation method and regression analysis. The results showed that the beta coefficient of systemic-spiritual couple therapy with cohesion in the family was 0.35%, the beta coefficient of cohesion in the family with marital satisfaction was 0.39, and the burden of systemic-spiritual couple therapy on marital satisfaction was reported to be 0.32. According to the obtained beta coefficients, the research hypothesis that systemic-spiritual therapy with the mediating role of family cohesion predicts marital satisfaction is confirmed. Therefore, the structural equation that has examined the relationship between satisfaction with the components of systemic spiritual couple therapy with the mediation of family cohesion confirms the fit of this equation. That is, the interaction of the spouses; their flexibility and impenetrability and their ability to appreciate-forgive can predict marital satisfaction and the family cohesion variable affects this relationship. However, cohesion also has a significant positive relationship with the above variables. Conclusion: The results of this study show that the variables of systemic spiritual couple therapy predict satisfaction and family cohesion.
