Is it true that Premarital counseling improves marriage quality?
Unclear. The retrieved items only partially bear on the claim: one small exploratory survey reports perceived effectiveness of premarital counseling, and one 2025 quasi-experimental study of 20 Iranian couples found improved communication and conflict-management skills after a premarital intervention. Neither measures marriage quality itself, so the evidence covers at most a narrower, proxy version of the claim.
