AB - The purpose of this research is to develop the marriage preparation support group program for Christian young adults and to verify its effectiveness in helping them to establish a Biblical outlook on marriage,enhance self-respect, and lower co-dependency. The main results of this study are as follows.
First, in marriage outlook test, the control group had a pretest average of 61.10 and posttest average of 62.40, showing no significant difference.
The experimental group had a pretest average of 58.50 and a posttest average of 54.60, and this lower posttest average was statistically significant (p<0.01). This shows the enhancement of a Biblical marriage outlook based on the appropriateness and necessity of marriage.
Second, in the self-respect test, the control group did not show a significant difference between pretest and posttest averages, but the experimental group had a pretest average of 146.00 and a posttest average of 152.40, having a significant higher posttest average (p<0.05). This shows that the marriage preparation program was effective in improving self-respect for Christian young adults.
Third, in the co-dependency test, the control group did not show a significant difference between pretest and posttest averages. The experimental group had a pretest average of 31.30 and a posttest average of 27.70, with a lower posttest score (p<0.05), and these results show that the marriage preparation program was effective in lowering codependency among Christian young adults.
