Abstract

Low levels of marital commitment can lead to profound problems in couples' relationships and can lead to hatred, jealousy, jealousy, competition, revenge, humiliation, lack of confidence and the like. The purpose of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of problem-based couple therapy based on Islamic approach and meta-cognitive-meta-cognitive couple therapy on marital commitment in couples referred to counseling centers in Sanandaj. The present study is an interventional and quasi-experimental research (pretest-posttest with control group) and is an applied research. The target population included couples who referred to counseling centers in Sanandaj . Due to the nature of the study population, voluntary sampling method was used to select the sample of this study and Adams & Jones (1978) marital commitment questionnaire was administered to them. Statistical analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used. In general, the results show the effectiveness of both problem-based sexual therapy based on Islamic approach and meta-cognitive-meta-cognitive couple therapy on marital commitment. Therefore, these approaches can be used as a therapeutic paradigm as well as an educational model to prevent deepening conflicts and to improve couples' relationships through couple therapies.
