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. These participants, selected through convenience sampling, were summoned due to their husbands' complaints of non-compliance with conjugal rights. 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.
