Whether marriage counseling is perceived by the general public to be scientific or not has a number of implications for utilization of services, treatment outcomes, and public policy decisions. The current study used a nationally representative sample ( N = 1,026) from the 2012 General Social Survey to examine two research questions. First, how scientific is marriage counseling viewed by the general public? Second, what demographic variables predict how scientific marriage counseling is perceived by the general public? The analyses indicate that marriage counseling is generally not viewed as scientific, with only 7% rating it as “very scientific” and 40% rating it as “not scientific at all.” These ratings are similar to those given for salesmanship and financial counseling. This opinion was consistent across all demographic groups measured with the notable exception of those individuals who attend religious services more frequently, who were more likely to rate marriage counseling as scientific. There was also a finding indicating the possibility of those who are currently married but previously divorced rate marriage counseling as more scientific than those who are currently married and never divorced. The implications for the field of marriage counseling in regard to health promotion, public policy, and client utilization are discussed. Future directions, including more in-depth inquiry about these opinions, are also presented.

This study investigated the rampant cases of divorce and its consequences in Borno and Yobe States, Nigeria. The cases of divorce women have tremendously increased, and relevant authorities are worried as indecency becomes the order of the day. The study tried to examine the burning issues at hand and proffers workable solutions to the lingering problems. The research explored a structured questionnaire and different forms of analyses were carried out. In addition, descriptive regression and correlation analyses were tested and considered. The findings revealed that Impatience, adultery, misunderstanding, mother-in-law interference and economic hardship drive many husbands to divorce their wives. Based on the findings of the research, it is recommended that a training Centre for marriage counseling should be established to address a lot of marital issues in the society; scholars should embark on rigorous awareness and should be encouraged by the authorities; the Muslim community one should abide by laws and regulations stipulated by Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta ala (SWT) as indicated in the Qur’an and Sunnah.
