In this study, the marriage education needs of individuals living in Northern Cyprus were determined, a marriage education program (EEP) was developed in line with the identified needs, and the effectiveness of the program was evaluated. In the study, a single-group quasi-experimental design was used in the implementation and evaluation of the program. The developed program was implemented as in-service training for the employees of the Nicosia Turkish Municipality. Participants in the trainings are 20 volunteers. Qualitative and quantitative methods were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the EEP. Qualitative data were analyzed with the "Coding Comparison Query" method available in the NVivo R1 program. An independent sample t-test was used to determine the attitudes and beliefs of the participants about marriage before and after the EEP. The findings of the research are as follows; EEP significantly improved the marriage attitudes and beliefs of married individuals. The qualitative and quantitative data obtained from the subjects supported each other. It has been concluded that EEP is effective.

Bu araştırmanın genel amacı, evli bireyler arasındaki, evlilik uyumu, aldatma eğilimi ve çatışma eğilimi arasındaki ilişkileri incelemek aynı zamanda, cinsiyet ile her bir değişken arasındaki ilişkiyi de açıklamaktır. Evlilikte Uyum, Çatışma Eğilimi ve Aldatma Eğilimi ölçekleri veri toplama aracı olarak kullanılmıştır. Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti'nde, kartopu tekniği ile oluşturulan örneklemden 120 evli bireyden elde edilen veriler değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırmaya katılan bireylerin %50,8'i kadın, %49,2'si ise erkektir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, hem kadınlar ve hem de erkekler için, evlilikte uyum ve çatışma arasında negatif korelasyon olduğu tespit edilmiştir, uyum arttıkça çatışma azalmaktadır. Aynı zamanda, kadınlarda ve erkeklerde çatışma ve aldatma eğilimi arasında, pozitif korelasyon olduğu ve evlilikte çatışma eğilimi arttıkça aldatma eğiliminin de arttığı saptanmıştır. Genel olarak katılımcı bireylerin aldatma eğiliminde oldukları fakat kadınlar ve erkeklerin aldatma eğilimi açısından anlamlı şekilde farklılaşmadıkları tespit edilmiştir.
