If couples do not acquire communication and conflict resolution skills, their disagreements will continue at first verbally and then behaviorally. Thus, the gradual destruction in marital intimacy will begin. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy on the couple's intimacy and identification of basic psychological needs in couples referring to counseling centers. Materials and Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study with a Pre-test-Post-test design and control group. The study population consisted of all couples referring to counseling centers of Ahvaz City, Iran, in the year 2018-2019. The sample was recruited with a convenience sampling method consisting of 40 couples that were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups (20 in each group). To collect information, we used Thompson and Walker's (1983) marital intimacy scale and Glaser basic need questionnaire. The experimental group underwent cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy (eight 90-minute sessions), but the control group received no intervention. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics (repeated measure ANOVA). Results: The cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy was effective in increasing marital intimacy and identifying the basic needs of the couples (P<0.05). Conclusion: Based on the results, cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy was effective in improving the intimacy and identification of basic needs in couples of couples referring to counseling centers.

“…Another study found that communication skills training significantly increased marital satisfaction and reduced marital conflict in the experimental group and improved the quality of life of couples [52]. The results of a study, which was conducted with the aim of enriching communication skills on reducing marital burnout, showed that strengthening these skills significantly reduces marital burnout and all aspects of burnout in couples and increases their marital quality [53]. When couples resolving their marital problems and conflicts, unsatisfied couples are more likely than other couples to show negative communicative behaviors, and rarely show positive communicative behaviors [54].…”

The educational intervention was designed and performed in 7 sessions of 45 min for the experimental group. In the two stages before and after the intervention, the demographic sections, the Pines Marital Burnout Scale and effective communication skills were used to collect data. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 24 and inferential test of Chi-square, Paired sample t-test and Wilcoxon test. Results There was no significant difference between the two groups before the intervention (p > 0.05). Performing the intervention in the experimental group significantly reduced the mean score of total marital burnout from 60.51 (± 14.96) to 51.82 (± 11.90), and reduced the mean score of marital burnout subscales, including physical, mental and emotional burnout.
