Baseline of coping strategy and divorce probability all participants were measured. Psycho-educational interventions treat on experimental group in 10 couple therapy sessions and coping strategy and divorce probability of all participants were measured in posttest and follow-up and data were analyzed using repeated measurement. Results indicated that use of inefficient coping strategy and divorce probability significantly decreased in participants in psycho-educational sessions compared to the control group (P<0.01).
