Marital intimacy, Quality of sexual life

In the first stage, Qazvin city is considered as 4 clusters in the north, south, east and west regions of Qazvin city. Then, from each cluster, two centers are selected by simple random method (8 centers by lottery). In the second stage, by referring to the selected health centers, the list of married women aged 18-49 years is selected from the electronic files, and the conditions of the research are mentioned during a telephone call with them. The samples will be selected from among married women with premenstrual syndrome referring to comprehensive health centers of Qazvin city and their spouses who have a low score in the marital intimacy questionnaire. We will use quadruple block design for random allocation of people. In order to determine the allocation sequence using the quadruple block method, random allocation sequence generation software will be used.By choosing 24 blocks of possible quadruples from the quadruple combination of two intervention and control groups, the selection process will be defined by default and the participants will be allocated to two groups respectively. In order to hide the sequence of allocation, the papers specifying the group of people are placed inside the envelopes in the opaque package and coded in the same order. In this case, a questionnaire with the same code will be completed for the person who receives the intervention.
