Purpose: The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of relationship enrichment training based on the Olson model on marital conflicts, conflict resolution strategies, and relationship quality in women experiencing emotional divorce. Method: This quasi-experimental study was conducted in the form of a pre-test and post test design with a control group. The statistical population included married women experiencing emotional divorce in Hamadan in 2024 who had referred to counseling centers. Among them, 40 people were selected through convenience sampling and were randomly divided into two experimental and control groups. The instruments used in this study included marital conflict questionnaires (Sanaei, 2000), conflict resolution strategies (Rahim, 2004), and relationship quality (Braginsky, 2011). The data were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods (mean, standard deviation, variance), and analysis of covariance. Findings: The results of the main hypothesis indicated that relationship enrichment training had a significant effect on the three dependent variables and its greatest effectiveness was observed on conflict resolution strategies. In the first sub-hypothesis, a 64% reduction in marital conflicts after training indicated a significant effect of the intervention. In the second hypothesis, a 77% increase in conflict resolution strategies confirms the greatest impact of education on this variable. Finally, the third hypothesis also showed that the quality of relationships improved significantly with a 75% increase. Conclusion: This training can be used as an effective intervention in improving mental health and marital relationships.
