Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Emotional security: is a feeling of safety and comfort with being vulnerable within the context of a given relationship. Timepoint: It takes two months before and after the study begins. Method of measurement: Rahim Dadd Iranian Family Psychological Functions Questionnaire (2012).;Couples' satisfaction with life: Sternberg (1986), by presenting the triadic theory of love, considers love to be a combination of three elements: intimacy, lust, and commitment. He believes that different combinations of these three elements create different types of love. When all elements are present in balance, the most complete type of love, that is, perfect and complete love, is created. In this theory, the more similar the triangles of two couples are to each other, the greater the level of satisfaction they will experience in their relationships. Timepoint: It takes two months before and after the study begins. Method of measurement: Marital Satisfaction Questionnaire, Hodgson (1992; quoted from Sassani, 2019).;Sense of worth: An individual's value framework in terms of the importance and commitment to family relationships, marriage and intimate relationships, playing parental roles, friendships and social relationships, employment, education, fertility, spirituality, civic and community life, and physical well-being. Timepoint: It takes two months before and after the study begins. Method of measurement: The Valued Life Questionnaire (Wilson et al., 2010; quoted by Akbari et al., 2019).
