In the past, individuals and couples learned marriage/relationship education (MRE) skills through private counseling or weekend couples’ retreats. Participants were usually charged for these services. Similar services were sometimes provided by religious organizations to members at no charge. However, not everyone had access to these free services and certain types of services were only available in the private sector. The cost of this assistance could be quite expensive and therefore services were not accessible to lowincome couples—those at higher risk for conflict and relationship distress. However, in recent years the government has provided grants to many community- and faith-based organizations to provide MRE services in low-income communities. Most of these programs were designed to offer free services and incentivize participation by providing child care, transportation, meals, weekend retreats, and/or other rewards. As programs move away from public funding, many are looking at ways to continue these services. One sustainability strategy is charging a fee for MRE services.
