ABOUT RELATIONSHIPREADY
Stronger relationships start with learning.
Healthy relationships don’t just happen. They grow through understanding, intentional choices, and skills we can learn.
At RelationshipREADY, we make practical, research-informed relationship education accessible to individuals, couples, and families, wherever they are in life.
Our Purpose
Relationships shape our lives. Learning helps them thrive.
Relationships influence our well-being, our families, and the communities we build. Yet many of us enter important relationships without ever being taught the skills that help them grow.
We believe everyone deserves access to practical relationship education—whether they're preparing for a relationship, strengthening an existing connection, navigating change, or supporting their family.
Knowledge
Understand the principles and patterns that influence healthy relationships.
Practical Skills
Develop tools for communication, connection, and navigating challenges.
Lifelong Growth
Continue learning and strengthening relationships through every stage of life.
Relationship education should be available before challenges become crises.
Our purpose is to make learning accessible, relevant, and useful in everyday life.
Our Story
Bringing relationship research into everyday life.
RelationshipREADY grew from a commitment to make relationship education more accessible beyond traditional classrooms and workshops.
Through Utah State University Extension, Dr. Brian Higginbotham and colleagues have worked to connect research-informed relationship education with the practical needs of individuals, couples, and families.
RelationshipREADY extends that work through online learning—helping people explore important relationship topics at their own pace, wherever they live.
Research provides the foundation. Practical learning makes it useful.
Our aim is to translate relationship knowledge into accessible educational experiences that people can apply in their own lives.
How We Approach Learning
Grounded in research. Designed for real life.
Relationship education is most valuable when people can understand it, connect it to their own experiences, and put it into practice. That's the thinking behind RelationshipREADY.
Research-Informed
