Abstract
The aim of this literature review is to evaluate
how premarital counseling can influence marital satisfaction among couples.
This literature review contains sixteen research articles which focus on
various aspects of premarital counseling. The researcher chose these articles
because of the articles’ findings about how premarital counseling is important
for couples who are looking to marry. The findings of this literature review
show that premarital counseling is important for marital satisfaction in a variety
of ways. Premarital counseling helps couples communicate better, understand
sexual relationships, and accomplish conflict resolution. Additionally,
premarital counseling allows for couples to set goals regarding finances and
family. There are many factors which contribute to whether premarital
counseling is accessible and helpful, which are also evaluated in this review.
This review advocates for premarital counseling for higher levels of marital
satisfaction.
