The first experimental group received self-talking-based cognitive therapy considering the Iranian-Islamic models, and second experimental group received common self-talking-based cognitive therapy (both of them have 7 sessions). The control group didn't receive any intervention. Before and after the experiment, all groups answer to marital conflict questionnaire. Finally, data analyzed by one-way ANOVA. The results show that both of interventions in experimental groups significantly decrease marital conflicts of participants, but intervention based on Iranian-Islamic models than intervention based on self-talking-based cognitive therapy have greater effect on improving of the marital conflicts (p < .01). Therefore, we can conclude that in self-talking-based cognitive therapy, common models should be replaced by teachings witch roots in Islamic and Iranian Models.
