The random sequence was generated using R software (version 4.3.1) and using the variable-size filled blocks (4 and 6) method to maintain balance between groups. The randomization tool was the generated sequence list, which was placed in opaque, numbered sealed envelopes. To ensure allocation concealment, the process of opening the envelopes was performed by an independent expert who was not involved in the screening and intervention process. After the final registration of each couple, he opened the relevant envelope and announced the group (experimental or control) based on the assigned number. This method prevents sequence prediction and bias in allocation, Blinding description: In this study, to maintain single-blinding, therapists and researchers will not be aware of the couples' allocation status to the control or experimental group, but couples will be aware of their group. This helps reduce bias in data collection and analysis and prevents therapist or researcher expectations from influencing the results. N/A Marital conflicts.
