Having a hard time finding causation here
- hntrader 6y agoIt's an intervention.
- rriepe 6y agoRelationship movies are marriage propaganda.
- ramraj07 6y agoJust a few really strong movies and guided discussion after that can definitely completely change ones perspective towards how to approach their partner; this study seems to affirm the same.
- HighlandSpring 6y agoYou shouldn't, interventional studies yield causal evidence, by definition
- dragonwriter 6y agoThe causation is the same as for common pre-marital counseling methods, having an improved shared understanding of relationship expectations (including improved understanding of partner expectations where they differ from yours) before running into clashes of expectations in marriage. This is done early marriage, and a slightly novel specific format, but it's not really all that different from pre-marital counseling methods which have been known to provide good results for decades, which have often included, which have often included pretty similar time allotment to the mechanism here, and a pattern of spaced sessions with presentation consisting largely of scenarios (fictional and/or from other couples) followed by time for the couple to discuss. So I'm not at all surprised that this is both effective and as effective as intense but narrow focus on one or anothee tool for coping with stressful situations.
