Abstract :
The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of effective communication skills training with spouses on emotional regulation and marital satisfaction of married women in Isfahan. The method of this research is semi-experimental and is a pre-test-post-test with control group. The statistical population of this study was all couples referring to family counseling centers in Isfahan in 1397. Among the couples referring to family counseling centers, 30 patients were selected using the available sampling method in two experimental and control groups (15 subjects in each group and 15 in the control group). The instruments used in this study were emotional regulation questionnaire by Garnovsky et al. (2002) and Olson's marital satisfaction (1989). The results of this study showed that effective communication skills with the spouses increased the adjustment of emotional regulation. Effective communication skills with spouses have reduced the level of emotional regulation that is incompatible. Effective communication skills with husbands have increased marital satisfaction.
