Abstract
Family cohesion and adaptability is an emotional bind among family members and ability to change of power structure and role relationships in marital life. This study aimed to examine the relationship of marital intimacy and spirituality with family cohesion and adaptability. In this descriptive correlation study 234 married men and women that consisted of students and employees from Shahrood and Mayamey cities completed marital intimacy, spiritual experience and family cohesion and adaptability scales. Data analyzed with Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise regression method using SPSS-16. Results showed that openness (marital intimacy subscale), and god related effect (spirituality subscale), rolled in prediction of family cohesion, as well, intimacy problems (marital intimacy subscale), and sociospritual activities (spiritual subscale), rolled in prediction of family adaptability. It seems that people with high spirituality that experience intimacy relationships in marital lives, reported high family cohesion and adaptability.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of tolerance training on mental health and adjustment in primary school children. The research method was quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest design with control group. The statistical population consisted of all elementary school children in Gorgan. Out of this population, 170 students completed the Mental Health Assessment Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents (CSI-4), Sprafkin et al. (1984) and Dokhanchi Adaptation Questionnaire (1998). Of these, 30 children who achieved a mean score in the tests were randomly divided into two experimental and control groups. Then life value training sessions were conducted in 9 sessions of 90 minutes, one session per week. Multivariate analysis of covariance was used to test the hypotheses using SPSS 22 software. The results showed that tolerance training improved the fitness and mental health of the statistical sample. Given the content of the intervention, it is suggested that life values such as tolerance be taught in group games to take a fundamental step in improving and promoting children's mental health and adaptability.
