In the past 40 years, individuals' close relationships, marriages, and families have undergone dramatic changes. The development and maintenance of strong interpersonal relationships, particularly close romantic relationships, are known to associate strongly and positively with physiological and psychological measures of well-being across the human lifespan. The purpose of this article is to encourage family and consumer sciences (FCS) and other family-life educators to incorporate evidence-based curricula and materials to improve students' and constituents' close relationships. In light of today's need to help improve individuals' relationship quality, implementing what we know from the research knowledge base regarding this crucial focus of FCS--healthy close relationships--is not necessarily costly in terms of personnel or facilities. FCS leaders may find this a defining opportunity to showcase evidence-based relationship education as a critical component of the FCS curricula, one that is very cost-effective and timely.
