researchers, particularly in the field of sociology and psychology. Objective of the present study is to
investigate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy on marital satisfaction and extramarital relation

posttest with control group) was used. Therefore, 30 women with extramarital relation were given Derigotas
questionnaire and marital satisfaction questionnaire (ENRICH) that were the instruments of measurement in this
study. The experimental group received training for 11 sessions with cognitive-behavioral approach. In order
to analyze data the multivariate analysis of covariance and Pearson correlation were used. Results showed that
cognitive-behavioral therapy had a significant effect on marital satisfaction, dimensions of marital satisfaction
and extramarital relation. In addition, there was a significant relationship between marital and extramarital
