The measurement tools of the research included Dobel Naha and Schwarz's sexual self-esteem questionnaire and Adams and Jones' marital commitment questionnaire. The analysis of the data obtained from implementing the questionnaires was done through SPSS-V22 software in two sections: descriptive and inferential .
