Objective: This study aimed to explore how body image, marital satisfaction, and happiness influence the sexual desire of married women. Methods:  Conducted as a descriptive correlational study, it involved 286 married women who visited pre-divorce counseling centers at the Bojnord General Prosecutor's Office in 2023.

Data collection tools included the Body Image Questionnaire (Fisher), Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (Argyle et al.), Enrich Couple Scale (Olson), and Hollander Sexual Desire Questionnaire. Results: The analysis, which used correlation and stepwise multiple regression, revealed significant positive correlations between positive body image, marital satisfaction, happiness, and sexual desire (p < 0.05). Specifically, body image explained 39% of the variance in sexual desire, marital satisfaction accounted for 30%, and happiness accounted for 35%. Conclusion: The findings suggest that enhancing body image, marital satisfaction, and happiness could significantly boost sexual desire in married women, indicating that targeted interventions in these areas may be beneficial.
