Recruitment issues are common in couple relationship education ( CRE ). Hence, learning more about factors shaping attitudes toward CRE could aid with these efforts. This study used dyadic data techniques to assess how common recruitment barriers are associated with attitudes toward CRE . The study also investigated differences by gender and income in a sample of 99 couples. Results show that time pressure influenced attitudes toward CRE differently for male and female partners, and time and vocational stressors were more impactful for those with higher incomes. The findings underscore the need to implement CRE marketing efforts reflective of the attitudes and needs of the audience.
