Effects of Emotional Intelligence Training on Marital Satisfaction and Mental Health Among Married People in Dhaka City

This study aims to examine the effects of Emotional Intelligence (EI) training on marital satisfaction and mental health among married adults in Dhaka city, Bangladesh. Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to recognize, understand, regulate, and manage emotions in oneself and others. Previous studies suggest that emotional intelligence is associated with better relationship quality and psychological well-being; however, limited intervention-based evidence is available in Bangladesh. A pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design with intervention and control groups will be used. Married adults living in Dhaka City will be assessed on emotional intelligence, marital satisfaction, anxiety, depression, and mental well-being at baseline. Participants with lower emotional intelligence scores based on the baseline TEIQue-SF assessment will be selected for the intervention phase. The intervention group will receive a structured emotional intelligence training program focusing on emotional awareness, emotion regulation, empathy, communication skills, and interpersonal problem-solving. Assessments will be conducted at baseline, post-intervention, and follow-up to evaluate changes in marital satisfaction and mental health outcomes. The findings are expected to provide evidence regarding the effectiveness of emotional intelligence training as a low-cost, non-clinical intervention for improving marital relationships and psychological well-being among married individuals in Bangladesh.
