Aim: This study evaluated the effectiveness of an Adlerian-based premarital education program on relationship maintenance strategies and tolerance among engaged couples in Yasuj.
Method: A quasi-experimental design with pretest, posttest, follow-up, and a control group was employed. The population comprised 47 engaged couples attending the Shahid Ashrafi Health Center in 2024. Sixty individuals were selected via purposive sampling and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups (30 each). Participants completed the Relationship Maintenance Strategies Scale and the Tolerance Scale at three stages. The experimental group received eight 90-minute sessions of Adlerian-based premarital education. Data were analyzed using mixed repeated-measures ANOVA in SPSS-26.
Results: The intervention significantly improved relationship maintenance strategies (F = 41.66, p < 0.001) and tolerance (F = 29.27, p < 0.001) in the experimental group relative to controls from pretest through follow-up. Improvements were sustained at follow-up.
Conclusion: Adlerian-based premarital education effectively strengthens relational skills and tolerance in engaged couples. This preventive program may reduce relational instability and is recommended for implementation in premarital counseling centers.
