| Sexual function: It is an essential part of life and is part of a woman's health. It is a multidimensional phenomenon and is influenced by psychological biological factors. A person's sexual function is a set of expressions of desire, sexual arousal, and orgasm that occur continuously in a person or couple, enabling the couple to fall in love. Timepoint: Sexual function questionnaire is evaluated three times by individuals in both intervention and control groups: at the beginning of the study (before the intervention), 4 weeks after the beginning of the study (immediately after the end of the counseling sessions). And 4 weeks after the end of the intervention. Method of measurement: The Women's Sexual Function Index is a 19-item questionnaire that measures a woman's sexual function in six areas of sexual function, including sexual desire, sexual arousal, vaginal lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain during sexual intercourse. A person's total score is equal to the sum of the person's scores in each area, which is a maximum score of 36, and a score of less than 28 indicates undesirable sexual function. A higher score indicates better sexual function.;Sexual satisfaction: Sexual satisfaction is a person's pleasant feeling of sexuality and her ability to create mutual pleasure. Sexual satisfaction is the measure of a couple's awareness of the fulfillment of their and their partners' sexual expectations and needs. One of the most important factors in a person's evaluation of marital life and its continuity is the level of sexual satisfaction in couples.
