The Contribution of Counseling Providers to the Success or Failure of Marriages
Ansah-Hughes, Winifred
Journal of Education and Practice, v6 n14 p50-55 2015
This study is an investigation into the contribution of counseling providers to the success or failure of marriages. The purposive and the simple random sampling methods were used to select eight churches and 259 respondents (married people) in the Techiman Municipality. The instrument used to collect data was a 26-item questionnaire including a five-point Likert type scale designed by the researcher and was administered to married people. The researcher however had three research questions to work with. The major result was that counselling providers contribute positively in the Techiman Municipality so far as marriage is concerned. It is therefore being suggested that premarital counselling should be maintained and encouraged in all churches.
