In this study, the research of Stinnett has been referenced and verified surveys were used. The survey contents were set as general matters, matters of operating marriage preparation programs, a demand for marriage preparation programs and the factors of demands for marriage preparation programs are divided into appreciation and affection, commitment to the family, positive communication, enjoyable time together, spiritual well-being, successful management of stress and crisis. Using data from 454 undergraduates, this study examines the foundation of premarital preparation education program for the strong family. The results were as follows; First, demand of premarital preparation education program indicated very high in both unmarried women and men. Second, areas showing significant difference by sex were appreciation and affection, and successful management of stress and crisis. Third, an area showing significant difference by religion was spiritual well-being. Fourth, an area showing significant difference by existence of experience in having relations and duration of having relations was successful management of stress and crisis. Significant difference did not appear by variables. This may be because trainees demand highly premarital preparation education program regardless of difference of sociodemographic variables.
