Abstract EN

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of a group counseling program based on Satir theory in enhancing marital quality among a sample of wives suffering from low marital satisfaction.

The participants of the study were (16) wives selected from family counseling centre in Al Zarqa.

They were randomly distributed to two groups: experimental group (8 wives), and control group (8 wives).

In the experimental group, the participants received a group counseling program based on Satir theory which consisted of (15) sessions, two sessions by week.

All the participants in the experimental and control group responded to marital satisfaction scale developed to select the subjects of the study.

Marital quality scale was developed and applied on the participants of the two groups pre and post the implementing of the group counseling program.

In this study, it was hypothesized that the counseling program would be effective in enhancing marital quality among the participants in the experimental group.

The covariance analysis (ANCOVA) revealed significant differences between experimental and control group on marital quality, in favor of the experimental group at (α ≤ 0.05).
