Abstract
This project offers a review of the literature on factors related to relationship satisfaction
and stability, premarital programs, and the role of meaning or values in relation to
intimate relationships. Within this project, there is a meaning and values-based premarital workshop manual that provides facilitators with detailed information, directions, and workshop exercises. The workshop is intended to be a duration of 4- to 5-hours for couples in the initial stages of becoming committed in their relationship. The aim is to provide couples with a structured program where they gain knowledge on the role of values in intimate partnerships and explore each individual and their partner’s values. The manual may be used as a stand-alone document or a supplementary manual component for facilitators of existing skill-based programs.
