Introduction: this study was carried out in order to investigate the online marital enrichment package with a cultural approach on the sexual behaviors of women suffering from sexual distress. method: in this randomized clinical trial, 79 women were recruited. forty were assigned to the experimental group and attended the four-week program (6 hours), and 39 were assigned to the control group. sexual behaviours, sexual scripts, and sexual distress were determined by a questionnaire that was completed before and after, eight and 12 weeks post intervention. the control group received the intervention based on the sexual health model post experiment. independent samples t-test were used for statistical analysis. results: according to the findings of the present study, significant differences were observed between the groups for the scores of sexual behavior in the follow-ups (p=.001; f=26.582). conclusion: the utilization of the four-session culture-oriented marital enrichment packa significantly improved sexual behaviors, altered sexual scripts, and decreased sexual distress. our findings provide the basis for a larger randomized-controlled trial (rct) with a longer follow-up period among couples.
