Abstract

The Purpose of the research project was to investigate about the effects of premarital Training on the non-functional marital expectations of university students who were on the verge of marriage. The sample population included in this study was 50 students of Isfahan Azad University who lived in dormitory and all of them participated in this study willingly .The students were divided randomly in two groups (25 in experimental and 25 in control group). Methodology applied in this research was semi- experimental with pre- test and post-test. The demographic and non- functional marital expectations questionnaires were administered to all subjects as the pre- and post test. Premarital training was given to experimental group in six sessions between pre- and post test and one week after the last session, too. It was hypothesized that there would be a significant reduction in the score of the experimental group as compared to the control group. The data obtained through questionnaires were analyzed by the SPSS -18. The results of analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) showed that premarital training promotes considerably and effectively marital expectations (p≤0.01)
