Kepentingan kursus tersebut ialah memberi pengetahuan awal berkenaan alam perkahwinan kepada bakal pengantin.

Implikasi kajian menunjukkan kepentingan untuk menganjurkan kursus pra-perkahwinan Muslim khusus untuk OKU pendengaran, untuk memberi mereka peluang memahami ilmu pra-perkahwinan, seperti individu tipikal juga.
