Almost 1,000 families reunited after the programme launched in June, state television reports.
Hundreds of divorced couples have been forced to get back together in Chechnya after the region's leader, Ramzan Kadyrov, effectively black-listed marriage separations as a perceived cause of social problems.
A report by state television announced 948 couple had got back together following Mr Kadyrov's orders for a strict programme of "family reconciliation".
Mr Kadyrov launched the scheme in June. At the time, he said children raised by married parents were less susceptible to extremism, Latvia-based Meduza news website reported.
"We've got to wake people up, talk to them and explain. We've got to return the women who left their husbands and reconcile them. This is a priority," he said.
