Couples often struggle in their relationship for several years before reaching out for help. Sometimes the couple postpones seeking help for so long that the damage seems irreparable, leading to divorce. The reasons for delaying help vary, but the devastating end result often can be avoided—if the couple is aware of and willing to practice a few simple principles and skills. An estimated 20% of all married couples are experiencing marital distress at any given time. While marriage/relationship education (MRE) is neither a silver bullet nor a method of therapy, it can be a vehicle for positive change in most couple relationships. So is it ever too late for MRE? Not if the couple is invested in having a healthy and satisfying relationship.
