The current research is designed to implement and evaluate 5 Verbs for Couples, a new relationship education program that can be completed individually or by both partners together. Involvement will entail completing 3 surveys over a 2-month period. After completing the first survey, a subset of individuals will be randomly assigned to participate in a 3-session online program and answer questions about their experience in the program. The remaining individuals will receive access to the program approximately 2 months later, after completing the third survey.

| 5 Verbs for Couples | Behavioral | The program consists of an overview and three accompanying sessions, each approximately 30-45 minutes in length. The new program developed by the project PI is organized around five verbs to help strengthen couple relationship. For each of the three sessions, content includes information on increasing gratitude between partners, building friendship and connection, addressing challenges and hardships, being a team, communication, and dedication. This psychoeducational program is largely informative in nature, with recommended thought and/or written exercises for individuals to complete regarding how program material applies to their relationship. Individuals are provided a link to access the program and then watch/click through session activities at a time and location of their choosing (similar to an online self-directed training or course). |
