The Effects of Healthy Marriage and Relationship Education Programs for Youth

Although many youth receive instruction in school or through programs in the community on avoiding teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), few receive instruction on the social or emotional aspects of romantic relationships. By emphasizing these topics, HMRE programs aim to help youth improve their relationship skills, attitudes, and behaviors and ultimately form and maintain healthy relationships in adolescence and adulthood. This brief uses an evidence and gaps map to summarize the existing evidence base on the effectiveness of HMRE programs for youth.

Socioeconomic Factors and Differences in Forming and Maintaining Marriages and Cohabitations

Romantic relationships—and especially relationships in which romantic partners live together—are a major part of overall individual and family life in the United States. However, the ways in which individuals form and maintain marital and cohabiting relationships—and when they form them—have changed substantially since the 1950s. 

 

Cohabitation—in which two partners live together outside of marriage—has become more common, especially for young adults. For some, cohabitation is simply an extension of dating, while others consider living together a steppingstone to marriage, or as an equivalent to marriage and therefore an environment suitable for having and raising children. 

 

Nevertheless, for many people, marriage is still a key life goal for both its symbolic and legal benefits

Building Relationships with Ourselves and Others

“I recently listened to an interview featuring David Richo. He wrote a book several years ago, How to be An Adult in Relationships, in which he explained what he calls the Five A’s that help relationships flourish.  What he said made so much sense, and I saw applications beyond individual relationships.  I believe we can use the Five A’s to better understand relationships with others and ourselves and even apply it to other contexts.”

What to Do When Love Breaks Your Heart

Heartbreak is inevitable. Romances end, loved ones die, friends let us down. These experiences might be universal, but their impact can still be devastating. By studying research, science journalist Florence Williams found that heartbreak can be more harmful to our health than people typically think. Ironically, heartbreak does affect the heart, with one study finding that men and women (aged 30–65 years old) are at a significantly increased risk of having a heart attack within the first year after a romantic breakup—25% and 45%, respectively. And it doesn’t stop there. Here are some tips to get through heartbreak.

Braiding and Blending Funds: Learning, Collaborating and Understanding 

What can schools do with millions of dollars in federal pandemic relief funding?

 

Turns out they can do lots of things that will help children, but school and district leaders need to be aware of the time constraints. Funds from the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) are plentiful, but they come with tight timelines (not to mention the different timelines for ESSER I, ESSER II, and the American Rescue Plan (ESSER). To make the best use of these and other existing funding sources, school and district leaders need a different approach beyond straightforward, simple use. They needed to braid and blend their ESSER funds with existing grants and other funding streams to maximize possibilities and potentially improve sustainability.
