“…In this respect, attitudes and behaviors that are thought to endanger the honor of men are controlled with violence (Cihangir 2013). Low education (Altınay and Arat 2009, Akar et al 2010, Bener et al 2010) and income level (Altınay andArat 2009, Şahin et al 2010) increase the risk of violence against women. Therefore, from a cultural point of view, it is important to include in the curriculum which cultural and sexist assumptions nurture and legitimize such behaviors, as well as how the types of psychological, physical, and economic violence aimed at regulating and controlling the behavior of the partner, especially in the context of jealousy.…”

Intimate relationships are the focal aspiration for human beings. Romantic relationship education is described as a road map for helping people to find strategies and solutions that fit their context, values and relationship goals. By using evidence-based skills training, people can learn techniques to navigate typical relationship challenges and safely express emotions. Being in a mutually satisfying committed relationship has proven to be associated with many positive outcomes including life satisfaction, physical well-being, better coping with major illness, as well as longer life expectancy and career achievement. Relationship education programs are developed by psychologists in Western countries as a preventive intervention for couples, adolescents and emerging adults before relationships reach crisis stage. There is, however, a lack of empirical studies to examine the effectiveness of relationship education within the Turkish cultural context. The overarching aim of this study is to review the relationship education programs within Turkish and international literature. This study provides an overview of the relationship education, and its scope, and theoretical foundations and also effectiveness of relationship education programs for couples, adolescents and emerging adults. The study further provides cultural, theoretical and practical recommendations for future directions in Turkish relationship education programs.
