Abstract
Premarital training and education have been shown to be effective in helping couples create and sustain healthy marriages, which have been linked to positive benefits for the partners, their children, and society. Training providers were invited to help create a composite picture of premarital training and curriculum priorities in Bay County, Florida. Individuals in long-term healthy marriages were also invited to evaluate curriculum priorities based on their experience. Study results showed no significant differences in curriculum subject priorities among 4 professional groups of training providers and no significant differences in average training time among the groups. A significant difference was found between the married individuals’ rating of 1 of the 9 curriculum subjects evaluated when compared to the training providers. Copies of this study were provided to Bay County’s training providers and county staff to improve their programs and also to interested citizens to increase awareness of premarital education benefits.
