摘要：

In 2 studies, newlyweds reported whether they had participated in premarital counseling and provided data on known risk factors for marital dysfunction. Couples who participated in premarital programs were not at greater risk for marital difficulties, and in some casts participating husbands were at lower risk for marital difficulties compared with husbands who did nor participate. Longitudinal data indicated that couples who participated in premarital programs did nor have better marital outcomes than couples who did not participate. The present article also addresses the need to develop procedures that will increase at-risk couples' participation in premarital programs and to improve the effectiveness of these programs in community settings.
