The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of sexual skills training on sexual satisfaction and rumination in married couples referring to health houses. The research method was a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test with a control group. The statistical population consisted of all married couples visiting health houses in Tehran during the second quarter of 2024. From this population, 30 individuals were randomly selected and assigned to the experimental group (15 individuals) and the control group (15 individuals). The experimental group underwent 8 sessions of sexual skills training, each lasting 60 to 90 minutes, while the control group remained on the waiting list. The instruments used in this study included the Sexual Satisfaction Questionnaire (Hudson, 1981) and the Rumination Questionnaire (Nolen-Hoeksema & Marrow, 1991). Data analysis was conducted using both descriptive and inferential statistics (ANCOVA). The results indicated that sexual skills training is effective in enhancing sexual satisfaction among married couples (p < 0.05). Additionally, the findings showed that sexual skills training significantly reduces rumination in married couples (p < 0.05). Therefore, these findings can serve as a basis for designing educational programs and psychological interventions aimed at improving the quality of marital relationships and the mental health of married couples.
