Healthy relationship and marriage education is a topic that young people want to learn. How much of their lives is focused on their love lives? And, how many of them make some very poor choices because of their love lives (for instance, most youth suicide attempts (gay or straight) are precipitated by the end of a romantic relationship). And, most young people (poor/not poor-gay/straight) aspire to a long lasting, healthy, committed (perhaps even married) relationship but most lack the skills for knowing how to build one. Relationship education is necessarily not built on ideology. Based on solid program evaluations, many people (conservatives and liberals alike) are embracing relationship ed as an innovative approach to the challenges that young people face today. We know that relationship ed reduced peer to peer violence (both verbal and physical), it can delay sexual activity, it increased closeness with parent(s) which is a very protective factor for youth. We also know that when young people become more socially and emotionally intelligent, their academic scores rise. This isn't an either academics or relationship ed question - it can and should be both. Side: YES

I say yes. Sexual education is important, but there are a lot of kids these days with no idea of what a healthy relationship looks like. They've been lied to all their life by the TV of the idea that they'll find "the one" and that everything will fall into place without effort. Fact is, if you walk into a relationship with that mindset, it's doomed to fail, because contrary to popular opinion, a good relationship takes a lot of work on both sides. On top of that, many people have no idea how to apply that effort, or what the warning signs for trouble are, or when to get out of a relationship that is toxic. Ultimately, we need this for the same reasons we need classes on home economics, sexual education, firearm safety, and filing your taxes. Those being: unlike most of the things you learn in school, these are the things that you actually need and will use, and we often can't trust parents to teach this necessary information. Side: YES

It is impossible to indocrinate students with marriage education. According to statistics teacher's pressure on a teens may create a lot of problems. For example, students may not understand the differences between general education(math, history) and marriage education. Side: NO

Shouldn't underestimate students madam. Students are already pressured on algebra expressions and etc that are not really necessary in the future especially in mathematics. Marriage will come to most people, so why not teach those to children ? Marriage is also what matter to adults so why not? Side: YES
Relationship and marriage education courses include: self-efficacy (can't love someone else until you know and love yourself); how relationships grow and develop over time (including how to spot, avoid, and get out of a dangerous relationship; communications and conflict resolution skills; and goal setting. Side: YES
Well actually, we do have a small study that shows that young people who took a marriage education class in high school and married in their early twenties, had more satisfying, lower conflict marriages than their peers who had also married but had not taken a relationship skills class. Side: YES
People are educated everyday on the dangers of drinking and driving, and still people drink and drive. I understand the premise of educating the young mind, but no amount of classroom marriage education will curb divorce. I can teach you how to build an engine, but how can I teach you about the ebb and flow of the emotional bliss and stress of marriage? Marriage is about how you feel, not lessons and guidelines. Side: NO
Actually, marriages and healthy relationships depend on actual skills along with the chemistry of love. You can teach young people how to choose well, how to solve problems together, how to communicate, and why you would want to remain committed to a relationship through its highs and lows (of course, relationships that are abusive of self, others, substance, etc. should be terminated). We can teach the skills needed for healthy relationships now and possibly marriages, in the future. Side: YES
I don't agree with that marriage education should be taught at school. I also think that it is impossible. Moreover, I assume that schoolchildren are too young to think about it and even learn it. Since they may overdo it. Of course, it is definitely interesting for them, but they also may perceive it not seriously and just think that it is easy. I agree with that they should be taught family values, that they should appreciate their families, how to behave. However, it is the best idea to teach them marriage education. We all know that nowadays even schoolchildren are informed about everything, even things, which they should not know at this age. I am afraid that in minds of schoolchildren may be formed wrong imagination about real marriage with marriage education at school curriculum. Additionally, I think that it is not necessary because most of children just may take example from their parents and understand what is good and what is not good in family relationships. According to Susanne Alexander, it may be harmful for children's psychological development. Since age group of schoolchildren doesn't allow to understand serious things such as marriage because they are too young for it. I totally support this idea. To conclude, it could be argued that marriage education should not be taught according with harmful influence to psychology of children. Side: NO
So mister, you like your children to be ignorant about some thing that is normal to the society such as "marriage"? Marriage that most people really care about ? You say it should be thought because it may coz harmful influence to the psychology to children.. But you should know mister, what causes more harmful pyschology is ignorance. Your child will also know about marriage in the an unexpected time especially that children can access internet but it's the best if they come to know marriage with a guide. You know, there's a teacher who would open their minds about marriage. I also think marriage aren't preferable to students, but only on elementary students. I'm sure highschool can take that topic, heck even sex education. There's no "too young " nowadays when it comes to knowledge. Side: YES
