In recent years, the availability of funding for marriage and relationship education programs and the need for accountability that accompanies such funding, have helped engender a greater focus on two related aspects of service delivery, namely research and assessment of programs. Researching and assessing or evaluating marriage and relationship education programs present challenges for practitioners. However, the author illustrates that the process is not necessarily as onerous as might be thought.
