abstract="Abstract:  The current study examined the learning processes involved in professionally supported self-directed couple relationship education (CRE). Fifty-nine couples completed Couple CARE, a systematic, self-directed CRE program designed in flexible delivery mode to be completed at home. Couples watched a DVD introducing key relationship ideas and skills and then completed a structured guidebook. The learning process was supported by telephone-based coaching sessions from a professional relationship educator. Couples completed the learning tasks associated with the programe and successfully implemented a wide range of relationship self-change, and most reported continuing implementation of program learning at 6 months follow-up. These findings suggest that Couple CARE is readily accessible and results in effective skill acquisition for couples.<p />",
