Abstract

COVID-19 pandemic caused many restri-cttions worldwide, including home quara-ntines. As restrictions were extended, ma-ny families experienced a number of fam-ily problems, including domestic violence, marital conflict, and sexual dissatisfaction. 
In this regard, the present review study was conducted to investigate the role of marital satisfaction and sexual satisfaction during the COVID-19 epidemic on the mental health of families. This study pro-vides a systematic review by searching the keywords COVID-19, Marital Satisfa-ction, Sexual Satisfaction Mental Health, Domestic Violence, and COVID-19 in the titles and abstracts of articles published in Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, and Science Direct. The main entry criteria were all English-language printed articles related in 2020 and 2021. The findings showed that the couples' verbal, physical, psychological and marital conflicts increased significantly compared to the time before the outbreak of COVID-19. Also, the couple's performance and sexual satisfaction during the COVID-19 pand-emic did not have the required quality and had a significant decrease. Given the long-term consequences of domestic violence on the mental health of women and children, it is necessary to take measures to identify, reduce and control family problems.
