Relationships Utah State University Extension, in partnership with Department of  Workforce  Services, offers relationship education classes this fall in many  Utah  counties. Three class topics are offered at varying locations and times  and  include “How to Avoid Falling for a Jerk or Jerk-ette,” which is designed  for  singles and dating couples and teaches steps for building high-quality,  long-  lasting relationships; “Couple LINKS,” which is for committed and  married  couples and is designed to enhance and deepen relationship skills;  and  “Parenting with Love and Logic,” which teaches parenting skills and  methods  for raising responsible children.

 Most classes are taught in a three-part series. All classes are free, but  participants must register to attend.

 According to Naomi Brower, USU Extension associate professor, the classes  provide excellent research-based information that will help improve the  quality of people’s lives. 

 “Those who have attended classes previously have shared how beneficial  this information has been personally and how many positive changes they  have seen in their lives as a result,” she said.
