Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of life skills training on emotional maturity and mental health of young marrying couples in Tehran, Iran. Method: The target population of the study consisted of all couples who referred to Ahmadi Health Center in the second half of the year 2015, from whom 60 people (30 couples) were selected using convenience sampling method and were randomly assigned to two groups of control and experimental. Before introducing the independent variable, the control and experimental subjects were pretested. Subjects completed the SCL-90-r questionnaires of emotional development and mental health. Results: According to the results, life skills positively affect young marrying couples’ emotional maturity and mental health. Conclusion: Couples who were well-educated in life skills are likely to show a high level of emotional maturity and mental health, thus they would establish strong and solid relationships with family and community members, and they socially show more desirable behaviors, and have a more self-contained concept, and this will allow them to assess, understand, and accept their limitations and abilities in a more correct way.
