Abstract
The current research seeks to investigate the effectiveness of emotion-oriented couple therapy on reducing marital turmoil and increasing life expectancy and mental health of incompatible couples. The research method in this study was a semi-experimental pre-test-post-test type with a control group. The statistical population of this research included all incompatible couples who referred to the counseling center and the sampling method was in a targeted manner, from which 30 couples were selected as the research sample and were replaced in two experimental and control groups. Data collection tools included Spanier's Marital Disorder Questionnaire, Schneider et al.'s Life Expectancy Questionnaire, and Goldberg's Mental Health Questionnaire. The content of emotion-oriented couple therapy was implemented for 8 sessions of 90 minutes for the experimental group and the members of the control group were placed on the waiting list. The results showed that emotional couple therapy has significantly reduced the confusion of incompatible couples (P≤0.01). Also, the results showed that emotion-oriented couple therapy increased the life expectancy and mental health of incompatible couples (P≤0.01). In conclusion, it can be said that emotional couple therapy has been effective in reducing marital turmoil and increasing life expectancy and mental health of incompatible couples.
