This study examines the effect of the Marriage Enrichment Program on spouse burnout. The study is a study with a pretest-posttest-follow-up test and experiment-control group. The study group consisted of 18 married women: nine in the experimental group and nine in the control group. A 10-session "Marriage Enrichment Program"based on awareness raising was applied to the experimental group. The study used the spousal Burnout Scale and Personal Information Form as data collection tools. The spousal Burnout Scale was applied to the experimental and control groups as a pre-test, post-test and follow-up test. Whether the difference between the pretest-posttest-follow-up test mean scores of the experimental and control groups was significant was determined using the Mann-Whitney U test and Wilcoxon Signed Ranking test. As a result of the analysis, it was seen that the Marriage Enrichment Program reduced spouse burnout. In addition, it was concluded that this effect lasted for at least 12 weeks according to the follow-up test result averages. In the control group, which was not treated, no improvement was observed in the levels of spouse burnout. The findings were interpreted, and suggestions were made as a result.
