“…This finding was in contrast with the results obtained by most of the studies. Previous studies have shown a positive relationship between religious orientation and marital satisfaction (Dudley & Kosinski, 1990;Olson et al, 2015;Rasouli & Soltani, 2012;Yeganeh & Shaikhmahmoodi, 2013).…”

This study investigates marital satisfaction, emotional intelligence, and religious orientation among women with early marriage in Iran. The 'emotional intelligence scale', 'religious orientation scale' and 'marital satisfaction scale' were used and a rare set of data from 194 women with early marriage were collected. The results of Pearson's correlation showed a significant relationship between emotional intelligence and marital satisfaction (P < 0.001, r = 0.38), and age at marriage and marital satisfaction (P < 0.005, r = 0.20). The results of the multiple linear regression analysis showed that emotional intelligence (P < 0.001, B = 0.33) and age at marriage (P < 0.05, B = 0.90) are predictive of marital satisfaction among girls with early marriage in Iran and explain 16.4% of the variation of women's marital satisfaction. A greater understanding of the factors increasing or reducing the marital satisfaction may help the marital satisfaction of women with early marriage in Iran.

“…The couples claimed that they always remembered God, saw their illness as a divine test, and that their illness could be a blessing since they experienced good events in the post-illness period of their lives. 59 The benefits of religiousness and spirituality can enable an individual to cope with illness more easily and achieve internal peace, optimism, positive relations, social and emotional support, life satisfaction, and eventually the power to adapt to life with a spouse who has MS. 60,61 The Iranian culture attaches great importance to religion and spirituality and people tend to seek help and protection from God in times of crisis. People's spirituality helps them cope with the difficulties of life; in other words, spiritual well-being facilitates adjustment.…”

Background and Aim: Being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis is usually accompanied by emotional trauma for patients and their families. The chronic, progressive, and unpredictable nature of the disease spells the patients' long-term need for care from their families. As soon as a diagnosis is made, family caregivers are faced with many challenges. The present study aims to identify family caregivers' experiences at the first hospitalization of their patients. Materials and Methods: The present study is a work of qualitative research and uses the conventional content analysis approach. It lasted from July 2019 to March 2020. The subjects were selected via purposeful sampling. To collect data, the researchers conducted indepth, semi-structured interviews with 18 family caregivers of patients with multiple sclerosis. The collected data were analyzed using MAXQDA 2007. Results: Analysis of the data yielded three themes: peaceful environment, need for continuing full support, and religion-based coping strategies. Conclusion: The findings of the present study can be used to develop support programs that address family caregivers' problems and needs to assist them in accepting and coping with the conditions of their patients, thereby increasing the quality of care provided to patients with multiple sclerosis.

“…Hünler and Gençöz () studied 92 Turkish couples and found that (Muslim) religiousness was significantly associated with marital satisfaction beyond the effects of duration of marriage, marital style, educational level, hopelessness, and submissive acts. In two studies from Iran, a positive effect was reported for religiosity or internal religious orientation on marital adjustment and various aspects of marital satisfaction, including communication, leisure activities, conflict resolution, and the sexual relationship (Ahmadi et al, ; Yeganeh & Shaikhmahmoodi, ).…”

“…Studies in Western contexts have suggested that religion and religious practices are associated with higher levels of marital satisfaction, marital adjustment, marital stability, and lower rates of divorce (e.g., Mahoney et al, 1999;Weaver et al, 2002). The benefits of religious practice may lie in its contribution to prevent and resolve marital conflict through providing a shared religious belief system (Lu, Marks, & Apavaloiae, 2012), and there is consistent evidence suggesting that this may also be the case in Muslim contexts (Ahmadi, Azad-Marzabadi, & Nabipoor Ashrafi, 2008;Hünler & Gençöz, 2005;Ilyas, 1991;Yeganeh & Shaikhmahmoodi, 2013). Ilyas (1991) reported that reports of engagement in religious practices were positively related to marital adjustment among Bangladeshi Muslim couples, although the variance explained in husbands' and wives' marital adjustment was rather modest.…”

The study of marital quality and stability has attracted widespread attention over the past two decades, with considerable interest in identifying predictors of marital quality and (in)stability. Most of this research comes from Western countries, however, and similar research from other areas is only beginning to develop. In particular, little coherent literature in this area has emerged from Muslim countries. Understanding how marriages develop, succeed, and fail is important for families across the globe, and perspectives relying predominantly on Western data and research perspectives may be of limited use in other contexts. The current review summarizes the existing empirical literature on the basis of samples from predominantly Muslim countries; identifies existing evidence to reveal important gaps with particular emphasis on personal, interpersonal, and contextual factors; and explores potential mechanisms that might explain associations between these factors and indicators of marital functioning.
