본 프로그램은 현대사회에서 급증하는 부부간의 부적응에 미연에 예방한다는 취지에 따라 개인의 성장 및 부부간 상호이해증진과 공동체의식향상을 통해 부부 자체의 문제해결능력을 강화시키는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 프로그램의 구성을 위해서는 부부교육 프로그램의 사회적 기여도를 고려해서 한국 사회의 위기집단이 누구인지를 파악한후 그들에게 필요한 구체적 도움을 살펴보았으며, 이를 통해 교육목표를 설정하였다. 교육방법은 실제경험을 함께 나눔로써 상호교육효과를 이룰 수 있는 소규모집단 (약 3~5쌍) 교육을 실시하였으며, 교육대상은 중산층의 결혼초기(결혼 5년이내) 부부들로 하였다. 교육내용은 교육목표에 따라 논리적이고 체계적인 연계성을 갖도록 하였다. 구체적으로 부부의 애정 증진, 결혼생활에 대한 부부 각자의 이해차이와 문제 접근 및 해결방식의 차이 지각, 부부간의 효과적인 문제해결 방식으로서의 부부의 상호교류 방식을 파악한 후 수정해보며, 그리고 부부의 문제해결 방식에 대한 조언과 평가를 통해 끊임없는 부부간의 성장을 유도하였다.

The purpose of this study was to identify the needs of marriage education programs for multicultural couples based on their socio-demographic characteristics. A total of 816 multicultural families (247 Korean husbands and 569 foreign wives) were recruited through 99 Multicultural Family Support Centers across Korea. Descriptive statistics and multiple regressions were conducted. The program needs that were relatively higher than other areas included the need to develop education on "understanding the culture and language of partner," "increased intimacy of the couple," "multicultural awareness," and "set goals for life." We also found that each participant's gender, foreign wife's country of origin, participant's education level, and marriage duration were significantly related to the needs of marriage education programs. These findings suggest that family life education for multicultural couples should be based on the characteristics of the program participants such as socio-demographic characteristics and family life cycle instead of providing a universal program for all multicultural couples.
