Why Marriage Education Matters

Marriage education matters because, the experts have learned that:

  • People can learn the skills they need to have a healthy marriage.
  • These skills can be passed on to couples by trained leaders.
  • Both men and women can learn and benefit from using these skills.
  • These techniques can be adapted to many types of social and cultural settings.

People can learn skills which can lead to greater fulfillment in marriage and relationships. Learning about healthy marriages can also help dating or engaged couples determine if their relationship is not healthy. For married couples with healthy relationships these skills could prevent a future divorce.
