  We consider the 3-form field, which has been considered as a candidate for
realizing inflation, coupled to a scalar field which models the relativistic
matter particles produced during the reheating epoch. We have investigated the
stability conditions for this theory and found that introducing such a coupling
does not lead to any ghosts or Laplacian instabilities. We have also
investigated the reheating temperature and the production of particles due to
parametric resonances. We have found that this process is more efficient in
this theory compared to the result of the standard-scalar-field inflationary
scenario.
