Frequency distribution of suitable marital quality based on cut-off point before and after the intervention in both groups

Dimensions of married life	Before intervention n (%)		Comparison beforeintervention* (P value)	After intervention n (%)		Comparison afterintervention** (P value)
	Control group	Intervention group		Control group	Intervention group
Agreement	0 (0)	14 (100)	<0.001	0 (0)	88 (100)	<0.001
Satisfaction	1 (4.8)	20 (95.2)	<0.001	2 (2.2)	91 (97.8)	<0.001
Solidarity	16 (42.1)	22 (57.9)	0.279	15 (13.4)	97 (86.6)	<0.001
Total	0 (0)	7 (14.3)	0.014	0 (0)	94 (98)	<0.001

*; For comparing agreements, satisfaction and solidarity between the two groups before the intervention, chi-square test was used and to compare total marital quality, Fisher’s exact test was used and **; For comparing solidarity between the two groups after the intervention, Chi square test was used of and to compare other cases (because the two groups at baseline were not similar), Wald test resulting from logistic regression with adjustment for the effect of the intervention, was used.
