Benefits of flexible delivery relationship education: An evaluation of the couple CARE program^*

Abstract

The current study evaluated Couple CARE, a flexible delivery relationship education program. Fifty‐nine couples were randomly assigned to either Couple CARE or a control condition and assessed on relationship self‐regulation, satisfaction and stability, and communication. Retention, engagement, and satisfaction with the program were all high. As predicted, Couple CARE increased relationship satisfaction and stability and increased report of relationship self‐regulation, but did not have the predicted effect on communication.
