Marriage/relationship education (MRE) programs are uniquely positioned to identify risk for abuse and to promote healthy and safe relationships. Domestic violence (DV) or intimate partner violence (IPV) is a pervasive and costly problem. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 4.8 million episodes of IPV occur every year in the United States in women 18 years and older. IPV can occur regardless of race, age, ethnicity, income, religion, sexuality, and education. This form of violence is particularly detrimental during pregnancy.
