Engagement and the first years of marriage are important milestones in the family life cycle. The purpose of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of Gottman's premarital education in comparison with the SYMBIS model on the patterns and injuries of Turkmen married couples. The research method was quasi-experimental with two experimental groups, a control group, pre-test, post-test, and 3-month follow-up and 24 couples from Turkmen couples who referred to Gonbadkavos New Life Counseling Center from July to October 2019. Purposefully selected and randomly divided into two groups of experimental marital enrichment by Gottman method (8 couples = 16 persons), SIMBIS model pre-marital enrichment (8 couples = 16 persons), and control group (8 couples = 16 persons). Were replaced. Gottman's premarital training sessions lasted 8 sessions for 4 weeks, 90 minutes two sessions per week, and SYMBIS premarital training sessions for 8 sessions, 90 minutes weekly for 4 weeks. Was. Participants in all three groups completed the Questionnaire Evaluation and Measurement Patterns and Premarital damage Rostami, Navabinejad, and Farzad (2019). Data were analyzed using repeated-measures analysis of variance. The results showed that the effect of Gottman's premarital intervention and SIMBIS's premarital intervention on dysfunctional communication patterns (F = 6.44, P = 0.003), ineffective relationship management patterns (F = 3.68, P = 0.033), Couples' value system (F = 9.17, P = 0.001), schema mentality (F = 3.80, P = 0.030), and the destructive effects of the main family (F = 11.58, P = 0.001) are effective. Influence remained constant at follow-up. The results of the Tukey post hoc test also showed that there was no difference between Gottman's premarital intervention and the SYMBIS model. Since both methods lead to improved patterns of pre-marriage trauma and trauma for participants, it can be used as an effective intervention to resolve problems and improve the couple's relationship.

Engagement period and the first years of marriage are important stages in the family life cycle. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of pre- marriage training in the SYMBIS method on communication beliefs of the engaged couples. Participant were 20 couples referring to Shahid Beheshti University counseling center, selected from all who referred from September to December 2017. They were randomly assigned to experimental (10 pairs) and control (10 pairs) groups. The experimental group received 8 sessions of 90 minutes weekly intervention. Both groups completed the Communication Beliefs Inventory in three stages of pre-test, post-test and follow-up. Findings showed a significant difference between the performance of both experimental and control groups in the total score of communication beliefs (F = 63/23, p = 0/001), disagreement in destructive factors (F = 34/40, p = 0/001), partner,s in ability to change (F = 27/73, p = 0/001), expectation and mind reading (F = 46/31, p = 0/001), sexual perfectionism (F = 23/10, p = 0/001) and sexual dissonance (F = 29/58, p = 0/001) in post-test and follow up stages. Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that premarital enrichment through SYMBIS method is effective in reducing the ineffective communication beliefs among engaged couples.
