Se definen como cualquier disputa, desacuerdo o expresión de emociones negativas frente a los problemas cotidianos o problemas diarios (Cummings et al., 2002). Regarding the impact of communication skills training on marital conflicts, it is recommended to train the women with marital conflicts with communication skills. These trainings had also significantly influenced the five aspects of marital conflicts of case group including cooperation (P=0.048), sexual relationship (P=0.001), emotional reactions (P=0.019), personal communication with relatives (P=0.033) and familial communication with spouse relatives and friends (P=0.20), but did not influence the other 2 aspects which are children support (P=0.13) and financial issues (P=0.12). The results showed In comparison to control group, communication skills training significantly reduces marital conflicts in case group (P=0.001). The data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 20 and independent and paired T-tests. At the end of trainings, which lasted for 2 weeks, both groups filled the questionnaires. Then the case group was presented with ten 45-minute sessions on communication skills. The pretest was consisted of a questionnaire on demographic information, communication skills and marital conflicts. First, the pretest was administered for both groups. At this experimental study with pretest-posttest design and control group, Sixty married women, who have referred to health centers of Gonabad city, had been randomly selected and distributed in two groups as case and control. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of communication skills training on marital conflicts and its aspects in married women who referred to health centers of Gonabad in 2013. The marital clinic is a highlighting in this context, since it proposes to welcome and treat the conjugal relationship in its structuring and relational aspects, improving the establishment of more balanced, stable and functional relational models. The women showed higher rates of psychological violence while men presented greater perpetration of sexual coercion. Physical neglect and sexual abuse were identified as predictors of physical violence while the dysfunctional parental alliance was a predictor of psychological violence. Infidelity, although correlated with violence, did not prove to be a predictor. The results identified that circumstances of daily life (such as gender, having children or not, partner's age) and experiences in the family of origin (physical neglect, sexual abuse and parental alliance) contribute to the explanation of the different expressions of violence in the couple. A quantitative, correlational and explanatory study was developed with 600 participants (384 men, 216 women), correlations were established and linear regression models were proposed. This study investigated the experiences of the family of origin, which sociodemographic data and what factors associated with infidelity have a greater predictive power of intimate partner violence, besides the possible interactions between these variables. The experiences of partners in their families of origin, the circumstances of everyday life and aspects of infidelity in the marital relationship have been studied to explain the genesis of intimate partner violence.
