Abstract
Relationship education is widely available to couples and is intended to reduce the prevalence of relationship distress, divorce, and the associated personal and social costs. To realize the potential benefits of couple relationship education, it needs to be evidence‐based, offered in ways that attract couples at high‐risk for relationship problems, and focused on factors that put couples at high‐risk for future relationship problems.Keywords
