Among the total of 33 research reports collected, 10 methodologically acceptable reports which contained appropriate statistical information for a meta-analysis were selected. A meta-analysis checklist was used to organize data. Data collected from these 10 research reports was object to meta-analysis using Schmidt & Hans effect size combination method, and then interpreted using Cohen&#39;s table.

Results displayed that the total average effect size for all analyzed research reports about the effectiveness of EFCT for reducing couples problems was 1.31 for fixed model of effect size and 1.39 for the random effects model, which were significant in both levels (P<0.0001). The EFCT effect size for reducing couples problems was interpreted as high according to Cohen&#39;s table.<br> &nbsp;<br> <strong>Conclusion</strong>: The meta-analysis conducted in this study revealed that EFCT interventions were highly effective in reducing couples problems.
