Abstract
This study investigated the efficacy of ‘Emotion-Focused Couples’ Communication Program’ for enhancing marital communication and satisfaction among distressed couples. It used a ‘two-group randomized control trial’ with 32 couples who belonged to the urban, middle class society of Maharashtra, India. ‘Primary Communication Inventory’ and ‘Dyadic Adjustment Scale’ were used to measure the level of communication and marital satisfaction. The program lasted five weeks and the results showed significant effects elicited by the program. Two-way ANOVA was used for data analysis and Cohen’s d test measured effect’s extent. This suggested ‘Emotion-Focused Couples’ Communication Program’ to be an effective tool for enhancing communication and marriage quality, thus positing that a healthy communication between the partners ensures greater marital satisfaction in a spousal relationship.
