Suggested session modifications to enhance acceptance and feasibility of Ghya Bharari Ekatra intervention delivery.

Session	Suggested modifications
1	The exercise 2 “Prioritizing Time in Relationship” reflections should include additional probes to foster depth of discussion.
2	In the group reflection, peer educators should be reminded to use existing probes about barriers to and strategies for addressing completion of the home assignment, which would enable effective group reflection, even among couples unable to complete the assignment. Exercise 1, “Increased Social Participation,” should directly link participants to community-based organizations hosting social events in place of relying on peers to collect and convey the social event information. The exercise 2 “Enhanced Social Support” group diagramming exercise should be replaced with role-plays and reflections to reduce reliance on literacy and peer critical thinking skills and foster participation. Additionally, scenarios of greater relevance to female group members should be included.
3	To foster depth of discussion and reflection among participants, the film for exercise 2, “Vadal Manache: Film and Discussion,” should incorporate a scene depicting the couple attempting to reconcile differences.
4	Exercise 3 “Getting the Job I Want” mock interviews should be prerecorded to address differences in facilitator skill and comfort level with acting. The resume-building exercise should be replaced with a presentation on the importance of job retention, budget management, and financial resources, as this knowledge is of greater relevance to the intervention population.
5	Two items (No. 7 and No. 10) on the exercise 2 “Misconceptions Quiz” need clarification. Incorporate additional information on HIV, oral sex, and sham infertility treatments.
6	Exercise 1.2, “Expanding My Definition of Violence,” needs additional probes and examples of violence by in-laws and violence related to dowry to foster depth of discussion during reflection. Also, pictures should be added to address literacy challenges with the exercise.
