The sample size was calculated at 320 cases using the sample size formula.

Results: Based on the findings, there was a significant and positive correlation between spiritual health and sexual satisfaction (P=0.01, R=0.511). Moreover, it was found that there was a direct correlation between spiritual health and sexual satisfaction; accordingly, people with higher spiritual health have higher sexual satisfaction. Sexual satisfaction also had a negative significant correlation with age and duration of marriage (P=0.01); accordingly, sexual satisfaction decreased with the increase of age and marriage duration. Furthermore, there was a significant direct correlation between education level and sexual satisfaction (P=0.003) Conclusion: According to the findings, spiritual health can be considered as one of the appropriate methods to increase sexual satisfaction in women. Therefore, by training women through educational packages or classes (in-person or virtual), it may be possible to increase their sexual satisfaction.
