The experimental group participated in 8 sessions of meta cognitive interpersonal therapy based training, once a week, for 120 minutes and the control group was on the waiting list. Research tools consisted of Perceived Pain Questionnaire of McGill of Melzack and Revised Marital Conflict Questionnaire (MCQ-R) of Bagher Sanaei & et al.
