Abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Couple Communication Program I (CC I) in improving the marriage adjustment, self-disclosure, and work-style communication of participating couples. The study employed a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest-extended posttest non-randomized control group design in which all subjects were tested at one-month intervals. The sample of 28 couples was comprised of 3 groups: a "regular" enrichment group of 10 couples, a group of 7 enrichment couples who were concurrently involved in marriage therapy, and a no-treatment control group of 11 waiting-list couples.
