The effects of a traditional prenatal education program focused on maternal and infant physical health education were compared with effects of an innovative prenatal program designed to decrease the potentially negative effects of childbirth on the quality of marital relationships. 53 couples participated in the traditional approach and 63 in the innovative program: all expected a first child. Analysis of variance of their scores on the Sexual Relationship Scale and also on the Abbreviated Marital Adjustment Scale administered two months postpartum (controlled for their scores on the 2 scales before the prenatal education program) showed a significant difference between the two groups of parents only with respect to sexual relationship: the couples graduating from the innovative program were more satisfied with sexual aspects of their marriage postpartum.
将一项专注于母婴健康教育的传统产前教育项目的效果，与一项旨在减少分娩对婚姻关系质量潜在负面影响而设计的创新产前项目的效果进行了比较。53对夫妇参与了传统方法，63对夫妇参与了创新项目：所有夫妇都预计生育第一胎。对他们在性关系量表以及产后两个月进行的简化婚姻调适量表上的得分进行方差分析（控制产前教育项目前他们在这两个量表上的得分），结果显示两组父母仅在性关系方面存在显著差异：完成创新项目的夫妇对产后婚姻的性方面更满意。
