Participants reply to afrooz marital satisfaction scale. Couples in experimental group received 10 sessions of 90 minutes spiritual Family therapy and the control group received no intervention. Analysis of covariance showed that the differences between pretest and posttest of marital satisfaction in experimental group and all its sub-tests that increased significantly in the experimental group, while no significant changes in control groups. Also there were significant differences in marital between the experimental group and the control group. So spiritual therapy based on family-centered on marital satisfaction of couples were effective. Spiritual therapy based on family-centered could improve their marital satisfaction Couples with husbands' drug-dependent and effected on increasing of marital satisfaction of couples involved in addiction that shows abnormal patterns of family relationships.

Background & Objectives: The drug addiction has different aspects and leads to the significant clinical damage. It can be related to the biological processes and personality traits such as temperament and character. Material & Methods: This correlation study assessed relationship between temperament and character features and severity of addiction. Two hundred thirty five prisoners and 50 non prisoners who were drug-dependent individuals were randomly selected from Quchan. Participants replied to the Addiction Severity scale (ASI) and temperament and character features (TCI-125). Results: The results showed that there was a significant difference between temperament and character features in addicted prisoners and non-prisoners in all subtests of temperament and character features (P<0.01). There was significant difference between prisoners and non-prisoners in severity of drug addiction on all subscales (P<0.01).The scales of novelty seeking and reward dependence have also a significant positive correlation with the severity of addiction (P<0.01). There was also a significant inverse correlation in measures to avoid damage, perseverance as well as natural features (total) (P<0.01). Regression analysis showed that 48.3% of the variance related to addiction severity is explained by temperament and character features (36.7% predicted by temperament and 10.9% by character features) (P<0.001). On the other hand, 15.2% and 12.1% of the variance of addiction severity (total) were explained by the novelty seeking and reward dependence alone, respectively. Only 8.9% of the total addiction severity variance was explained by self transcendence. Conclusion: Attention to the personality character and severity of addiction can be effective on treatment, harm reduction and drug craving interventions.
