Background: In the present era, there has been a decline in the compatibility of couples within the realm of family dynamics, necessitating a practical intervention in this domain.
Aims: This study aimed to examine the efficacy of marital skills, employing a cognitive-behavioral approach, in enhancing the compatibility of couples who are considering divorce.
Methods: This research was conducted using a quantitative and semi-experimental approach with control and experimental groups. The statistical population consisted of all couples seeking divorce in Tehran in the year 2021. Data collection involved the utilization of a standardized questionnaire, and sampling was conducted accordingly. Following the selection of participants during the pre-test phase, they completed the research questionnaires and were randomly assigned to either the control or experimental group, with equal distribution. Subsequently, the treatment protocol was implemented, and the participants completed the research questionnaires once again. The resulting data were then analyzed using SPSS24 software.
Results: The research findings indicated that the type of treatment had varying effects on different levels (pre-test, post-test, and follow-up). Marital satisfaction showed a significant interaction with F= 0.545, p< 0.01, F(20.8 and 1.6)= 15.652, while the correlation between partners demonstrated a significant interaction with F= 0.609, p< 0.01, F(22.9 and 1.7)= 20.226. Similarly, agreement between partners exhibited a significant interaction with= 0.724, p< 0.01, F(26 and 2)= 34.159, and the expression of affection displayed a significant interaction with= 0.370, p< 0.01, F(26 and 2)= 7.639 across different levels. Furthermore, during the follow-up assessments, it was observed that the treatment effects on the marital adjustment variable were able to sustain their impact in the follow-up stage.
Conclusion: The research findings indicated that the type of treatment had varying effects on different levels (pre-test, post-test, and follow-up).
