The method of this study was a semi-experimental pre-test-post-test type with repeated measurements. The statistical population was all the couples who referred to counseling centers in Kermanshah in 2022, after screening with Reed et al.'s (2006) marital relationship questionnaires, Rosen et al.'s sexual performance of women (2000), Rosen's men's sexual performance. and colleagues (1997) and marital satisfaction of Enrich and colleagues, 40 couples were selected purposefully and 20 couples were randomly replaced in the experimental group and 20 couples in the control group. The experimental group received eight sessions of combined solution-oriented and structural-oriented couple therapy interventions as a group, and the control group was placed on the waiting list. The results showed that solution-oriented and structural-oriented couple therapy is significant in the post-test scores of marital relationship, sexual performance, and marital satisfaction. The findings of this research potentially have important practical effects for therapists to pay attention to the combined effectiveness of solution-oriented and structural-oriented couple therapy on marital interaction, sexual performance, and marital satisfaction in couples.
