Determining the Relationship between Styles of Devotion and Espousal Satisfaction by the Index of Sexual Functioningof Women

The present research surveys the relationship between styles of devotion and espousal satisfaction by the index of sexual functioning of women. The research method devised here is correlational.Two hundred women referring to a health centre in Tehran in 1393 and 1394 were selected via random-cluster sampling. The data was gathered from the questioners on the styles of devotion and attachment (AAI), espousal satisfaction questioners (ENRICH), and the questioner of the index of sexual functioning of women(FSFI). The data was analysed by Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regressionsstep by step analysis. The findings of this study show that there is a positive meaningful relationship between the safe devotion and attachment style and espousal satisfaction and women sexual functioning (r=0/245). Also there is a reverse and meaningful relationship between the unsafe avoidableattachment styles and unsafe and ambivalent styles and women sexual functioning (r=-285, r=-247). Furthermore, espousal satisfaction has a direct meaningful relationship with the index of sexual index (r=/222). As a consequence, safe and ambivalent attachments have the most predictive power regarding the index of sexual functioning. However, women who have the safe attachment style and high espousal satisfactionenjoy an appropriate sexual functioning in their relationship with their husbands
