Your University of Florida IFAS Extension Office is now offering SMART<br />
Couples Florida, a series of fun, FREE relationship-strengthening<br />
classes that help teens, couples, parents, and stepfamilies learn simple<br />
and effective skills to break negative cycles that can disrupt or prevent<br />
happy, successful, and life-long relationships.<br />
SMART Couples Florida classes are designed to teach you how to<br />
communicate your needs, listen to the needs of others, successfully<br />
resolve conflicts, and maintain happy and healthy relationships<br />
with everyone in your life. SMART classes include:<br />
• Relationship Smarts Plus 3.0: A fun and unique program<br />
designed to help teens learn how to set goals and make wise<br />
choices about relationships, dating, partners, and more.<br />
• Before You Tie the Knot: A dynamic premarital program for<br />
couples who are striving to start their marriages out right.<br />
• Elevate: A powerful relationship enhancement program for<br />
couples—dating, cohabiting, engaged, married—who want to improve<br />
their communication skills and to strengthen their relationships.<br />
• Smart Steps: An empowering stepfamily program developed<br />
specifically to strengthen relationships between remarried<br />
or re-partnered couples and their children, including<br />
non-custodial parents.<br />
