There is some evidence that skill-based couples relationship education (CRE) enhances couples' maintenance of healthy, committed relationships. This article analyzes issues in the balancing of a limited but growing knowledge base on the effects of CRE with current social policy that is creating an impetus for widespread dissemination of CRE. It is suggested that enough is known to act now, and that by doing so, the field has a unique opportunity to substantially (and rapidly) add to the existing knowledge base. Specifically, there can be expansion of knowledge of the efficacy of CRE with diverse populations and service delivery contexts, as well as the influences on the reach of CRE to populations at high risk of future relationship difficulties. While the current article focuses on CRE, the issues discussed have relevance to warrant dissemination to many areas of family psychology intervention.
有证据表明，基于技能的夫妻关系教育（CRE）能促进夫妻维持健康、忠诚的关系。本文分析了在平衡关于CRE效果的有限但不断增长的知识库与当前推动CRE广泛传播的社会政策方面的问题。有人认为，现在已有足够的知识可以采取行动，而且这样做的话，该领域有一个独特的机会大幅（且迅速）扩充现有知识库。具体而言，可以扩充关于CRE在不同人群和服务提供背景下的效果的知识，以及对CRE覆盖未来关系困难高风险人群的影响的知识。虽然本文聚焦于CRE，但所讨论的问题具有相关性，值得推广到家庭心理干预的许多领域。
