Marriage is a big step in the life of two individuals. Currently, a little over half of all marriages end in divorce. Sadly, persons that marry without having premarital counseling are at much higher risk of divorce and researchers reveal that it affects their marital quality also.. In India marital quality is a topic which spouses rarely discus openly among themselves or widely addressees in public. The study intends to compare the marital quality among married persons with and without pre-marital counseling. The problem is important because there has been very little effort in India to study the effect of premarital counseling on marital quality. Moreover most of the marital quality study originated in west and have their limitations to be applied in the Indian context. Hence some culturally relevant marital quality study programs are an immediate need.
