The overarching aim of this article is to review the research on relationship education programs and approaches that has been published or accepted for publication since the last review article in 2003. This article provides a critical overview of the relationship education field and sets an agenda for research and practice for the next decade. A theme weaved throughout the article is the ways in which relationship education is similar and different from couples therapy, and we conclude that there can be a synergistic, healthy marriage between the two. We then provide recommendations for future directions for research in the relationship education field. Finally, the coauthors comment on our experiences in both the relationship education field and the couples therapy field as both researchers and interventionists.
本文的首要目标是回顾自 2003 年上一篇综述文章以来发表或接受发表的关于关系教育项目和方法的研究。本文对关系教育领域进行了批判性的概述，并为未来十年的研究和实践制定了议程。贯穿全文的一个主题是关系教育与夫妻治疗相似和不同的方式，我们的结论是，两者之间可以有一种协同的、健康的婚姻关系。然后，我们为关系教育领域的未来研究方向提出了建议。最后，两位作者作为研究人员和干预者，对他们在关系教育领域和夫妻治疗领域的经验进行了评论。
