The score of Severity of menopausal symptoms based on MSSI-38 scale as dependent variable was divided into two categories ≤ 43 as low severity and ≥ 44 as high severity; The score of marital satisfaction based on RDAS scale as dependent variable was divided into two categories ≤ 47 as marital/relationship distress and ≥ 48 as non-distress
