After divorce, 65% of women and 70% of men are likely to re–marry, and about 50% of those who are married for the second time is divorced again. In this regard, communication problems are one of the most common issues between them.

Satisfaction in marital life depends on several factors; one of these factors is sexual relations that can be among the most critical factors. If the sexual relationship between couples cannot be maintained desirably, it can lead to feelings of deprivation, failure, and marital conflict.
