      ab: This study examines a diverse sample of married individuals (N = 1,542) in the context of couple and relationship education (CRE). Differences and similarities in participant well-being at baseline and overtime were examined among individuals in first marriages—with and without children from previous relationships—and various types of remarriages utilizing measures of individual, couple, and parental functioning. Additionally, we examined how the content of CRE classes influences change scores of stepfamily couples based on whether they received stepfamily-specific content or generalized CRE. Results indicate that individuals in first marriages and those in different types of remarriages appear to report similar levels of marital functioning initially and appear to benefit similarly from CRE classes. Stepfamily couples appear to benefit similarly from stepfamily-specific and generalized CRE classes, yet differences between the groups are considered in the interpretation of this finding.
