prevention and enrichment programs for couples
Definition
- Although individualized face-to-face therapy is designed to remediate couple problems or distress, a growing array of structured programs target couples that are experiencing little or no distress with the goal of improving or maintaining the couple's relational harmony. These programs have been variously labeled “marriage enrichment,” “marriage education,” “premarital preparation,” “relationship enhancement,” “psychoeducation for couples,” or simply “relationship education.” Although relationship education may be delivered through books, pamphlets, media campaigns, Web sites, and fact sheets, most programs involve structured, face-to-face workshops or classes in community settings such as churches, schools, universities, hospitals, or family resource centers.
