ENRICH Marital Satisfaction Scale (EMS; Fowlers & Olson, 1993) was adapted and modified to suit the objectives of the study.

The instrument had reliability coefficients of 0.89 indicating high reliability. Mean and the standard deviation were used to answer all the six research questions.

The findings of the study revealed that communication skill training had significant effect on marital satisfaction [t (73, 0.05) = 4.469, p = 0.001, p0.05], parenting skill training has no significant effect on couples‘ parenting [t(73, 0.05) = 2.365, p = 0.075, p>0.05].
