Abstract: (222 Views)
Background & Aims: Marriage is known as one of the most exciting and stressful events in the life of every person. This stage represents progress on the path of personal growth. Marriage is one of the most important decisions that every person makes in his life. Before marriage, people have more freedom to make decisions and avoid creating problematic structures. However, after marriage, with the formation of structures, it is rarely possible to change them. From the point of view of psychology, marriage, as an important stage in a person's life, requires psychological preparation and management skills. Family management training can help people cope better with the challenges of joint life. These trainings include communication skills, conflict resolution, and stress management, which help to improve the quality of married life. Psychologists emphasize that mutual understanding and the ability to adapt to changes are key factors in the success of a marriage. Also, premarital education can lead to a decrease in divorce rates and an increase in marital satisfaction. These trainings help people to play their roles in the family more effectively. From the point of view of psychology and psychological well-being, newly married couples face challenges and opportunities that can affect their mental health and relationships. One of the most important aspects of this period is the process of adapting to new changes. After marriage, people face new situations such as changes in responsibilities, maintaining individual identity alongside shared identity, and new ways of social interaction. These changes can lead to feelings of stress or anxiety, especially if couples cannot adjust quickly to the new lifestyle. Psychological well-being in this era means the couple's ability to maintain healthy and supportive relationships, effectively face conflicts, and manage new emotions and stresses. Establishing effective communication, respecting boundaries and individual needs, and developing problem-solving skills are factors that can help strengthen the relationship and prevent possible crises. Paying attention to each other's psychological needs, developing empathy, and creating a safe space to express feelings can be effective in facilitating the adaptation process and creating a stable and satisfying relationship. In addition, couples must be prepared to deal with external pressures such as financial responsibilities, extended families, or social changes. In this way, pre-marriage counseling and periodical counseling afterward can help to create healthy foundations in relationships. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of family management training and self-compassion in newly married couples.
Methods: This research is descriptive and correlational because the researcher's goal is to investigate the relationship between variables. In this research, family management education is considered as a predictor variable, and psychological well-being is a criterion variable. The statistical population of this research included all newly married couples in Neka city in 2022-2023. SPSS-23 software was also used for data analysis.
Results: The effect of family management training (F=110.60, P<0.000) is statistically significant after adjusting the averages of the two groups based on the pre-test score. Therefore, it can be concluded that family management training has increased the psychological well-being of newly married couples.
Conclusion: family management training is significantly related to the psychological well-being of newly married couples. This relationship shows that education related to family management can help improve the quality of life and increase the psychological satisfaction of couples. Considering the importance of this issue, planning and implementing family management training courses can be an effective solution in improving the psychological well-being of couples. One of the important effects of these trainings is improving couples' communication. By learning skills such as active listening, expressing feelings, and problem solving, couples can have more positive interactions and strengthen their emotional relationships. This healthy communication helps them to find solutions with cooperation and empathy instead of criticizing or blaming when faced with problems. These behaviors not only reduce the stress caused by conflicts but also increase the feeling of security and mutual trust. Family management training also helps improve couples' decision-making and planning skills. When couples can make joint and rational decisions on important life issues such as managing finances, raising children, or planning for future goals, they feel more in control. This sense of control and participation in decisions is an important factor in promoting psychological well-being because it strengthens the sense of responsibility and cooperation in couples. Another positive effect of these trainings is the promotion of psychological flexibility in couples. Trainings that focus on managing stress and emotions help couples to have a more positive attitude in the face of life's challenges and crises and to recover faster. Stable conditions will return. Psychological flexibility allows couples to focus on opportunities and solutions instead of focusing on negative aspects when faced with problems, and these skills are It helps reduce anxiety and increase happiness. Finally, family management training allows couples to define their common goals and work together to achieve them. Having clear and achievable goals in life together increases the sense of purpose and satisfaction in life. This sense of purpose is one of the key components of psychological well-being that helps couples find more meaning in their lives. By combining these skills, couples will not only have a happier life together but will also be in a better psychological state.
