What is Relationship Education?

Relationship education is a relatively new approach designed to help prevent marital distress and breakdown. It is based on the premise that couples can learn how to build and maintain successful, stable marriages. Couples can learn how to increase the behaviors that make a marriage successful and decrease those associated with marital distress and divorce. Strong, healthy marriages are those that have benefits for couples as well as their children. Relationship Enhancement® Programs are one example of educational programs that give couples experiences in deep intimacy–even in the heart of conflict–while teaching them tools to make problem solutions last. During the program, couples work through core problems through extended couple dialogues. Currently, the Bluegrass Healthy Marriage Initiative is providing the Relationship Enhancement® program to its constituents.
