This study investigated the impact of a marriage enrichment program. Fourteen couples were randomly assigned to one of two experimental groups or to a no-treatment control group. One experimental group received fair-fight training for 3 weeks followed by a sexual enhancement format for 3 additional weeks. The second experimental groups received the opposite treatment sequence. The same counselor team used the same exercises in both groups. The sequence of treatment did not differentially affect outcome. The immediate and longer term treatment effects that were found generally favored the treatment groups over the no-treatment control group on spouses' separate reports of marital and personal functioning. Using larger and more homogeneous samples, future studies should examine the relationship of individual partner changes to couple changes, conduct a follow-up evaluation of at least 3 months, and obtain behavioral assessments of couples' interactions before and after treatment.
本研究调查了一项婚姻强化计划的影响。14对夫妇被随机分配到两个实验组之一或一个无治疗对照组。一个实验组接受了为期3周的公平争吵训练，随后又接受了为期3周的性增强训练。第二个实验组接受了相反的治疗顺序。同一咨询团队在两组中使用相同的练习。治疗顺序对结果没有差异影响。在配偶关于婚姻和个人功能的单独报告中，发现的即时和长期治疗效果总体上有利于治疗组而非无治疗对照组。未来的研究应使用更大且更同质的样本，检查个体伴侣变化与夫妻变化之间的关系，进行至少3个月的随访评估，并在治疗前后对夫妻互动进行行为评估。
