The statistical population of the present study includes married people in Tehran in 1400. by available sampling method, 167 people were selected to participate in this study. Data collection tools included the Spiritual Welfare Scale, the Sexual Satisfaction Scale, and the Glombock-Right Marital Status Questionnaire. Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis were used to analyze the data under SPSS software version 22. The results showed that the correlation coefficient between sexual satisfaction (0.37**) and spiritual well-being (0.31**) with marital adjustment was significant at the level of 0.01. Spiritual well-being also had a moderating role in the relationship between sexual satisfaction and marital adjustment (P <0.05).
