What is Marriage Education?

Marriage Education is a process of teaching important knowledge, skills, and attitudes about marriage. Marriage Education is not counseling or fixing problems, but instead focuses on capacity building. In other words, its purpose is to strengthen and equip people to be successful in their roles as marriage partners. It includes preparation for relationships and marriage for unmarried individuals and couples, as well as marriage enrichment for already-married couples.
