Abstract

Sexual satisfaction is crucial for a healthy marriage relationship, as it relates to the positive attitude towards living with the spouse and valuing the marriage. This research aims to determine whether there is a significant relationship between marital and sexual satisfaction in marriages of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Havana Cuba in 2023, using a non-probability sampling of 214 marriages. The results showed that the greater the marital satisfaction, the greater the sexual satisfaction, and vice versa. In addition, the number of children influences sexual satisfaction, being less to more children.
