Abstract
This study evaluated a biblical and psycho-educational program designed to increase and strengthen marital satisfaction and commitment among military couples. The primary objective was to educate couples on eight dimensions of intimacy and measure the impact on satisfaction and commitment. It was hypothesized that after receiving the education, couples would report increases in intimacy, satisfaction, and commitment. A convenience sample of ten couples participated in a twelve week marital enrichment program. Results indicated that participating in the program increased marital satisfaction and strengthened commitment. The author recommends that marital enrichment programs incorporate a multidimensional intimacy model when working with couples.
