Background: The family institution is one of the most central educational environments that plays a significant role in maintaining a person's mental, social, and physical health. One of the important models in the field of examining family functioning is McMaster's family functioning model.
Aims: The present study was conducted with the aim of modeling structural equations for predicting marital conflicts based on family functioning based on the McMaster model (problem solving, communication, roles, companionship, behavior control, emotional intercourse), with the mediation of sexual satisfaction in couples in Shiraz.
Methods: This study was a correlational and structural equation type. The statistical population of the research included conflicting couples in Shiraz city in 2020. Using random sampling method, 300 people were selected from conflicting couples. The participants completed questionnaires of marital conflicts (Sanaei Zaker, 2017), family assessment (Epstein et al., 1983), sexual satisfaction (Hudson, 1981). To analyze the findings, the method of structural equations and Pearson's correlation coefficient and regression were used using SPSS-25 and AMOS-24 software.
Results: The results showed that the proposed structural model had a good fit and the predictor and mediator variables have a significant direct and indirect effect on the sexual satisfaction of couples (P<0.05). Also, the results indicated the existence of an inverse relationship between the components of family functioning and marital conflicts.
Conclusion: Based on the findings obtained in this study, it can be said that apart from the influencing factors of family functioning, marital conflicts and sexual satisfaction play an essential role in improving and stabilizing the family system and should be taken into consideration.
