The focus of the study was <br />on the period from commencing of symptoms up to start of treatment. Data were <br />collected through semi-organized interviews and were analyzed through constant <br />comparisons. It was recognized that problem solving skills was the main <br />variable in the process of coping with sexual disorders leading to marital <br />conflicts. The main variable consisted of two levels including ‘single-couple’ <br />and ‘interactional’ and five main categories named as recognizing sexual <br />disorder symptoms, personal assessment, self-attempt, threat feeling, <br />consulting with others which ultimately led to searching help, consultation, <br />and treatment. The preliminary individual decision to decrease the symptoms <br />resulted in self-treatment which consequently defered the treatment period. <br />Age, gender, education level, socio-economical status and pre-knowledge of <br />disorders affected people`s decision making time. Individuals with sexual <br />disorders defer the start of treatment and this can bring a family to <br />separation. Couples should take pre-marriage counseling sessions in order to <br />make decision for treatment at the right time when faced by sexual disorders.
