I was just watching an episode of The Tonight Show, where Johnny Carson said (in 1994) that high schools *(and even in school before high school age) students should have to take courses in relationships. That was seriously a great idea and I wonder why all these years later it isn't done. Society would end up better as a whole, I bet, not only the romantic relationships...

The government doesn't want a society of healthy, educated people. They can't control us, if we all get along. This is why the government loves Feminism.
Feminism has created a war, at the most personal level, between men and women

It would be difficult to do without some being suspicious that religion was involved, but it is certainly a good idea.
Friendship, dating, marriage, citizenship, etc., would be much improved if the basics were taught -as many do not have good examples, and those who do may not learn everything that way.
It would be a good opportunity for students to understand each other's perspectives better, to realize that everyone goes through and feels basically the same things, and for teachers to realize when individuals may need counseling, assistance, etc.

Of course, these days it could go very wrong -as normalcy is rejected as even a basic concept, acceptance of any weird and stupid idea might be taught, the adults who might teach the courses are already screwed up and it would likely become a sales pitch for the mental health industry.

This sounds like a good idea, but making the curriculum for it might prove difficult since so many people have varying ideas how relationships should work. Even relationships in family structures different from; age, race, religion, background, ratio of male to female. Not one thing is going to work for everyone.

In theory it would have helped a lot, but don't you think it would have quickly become all politically correct in a hurry? They would have promoted girls and homosexuality and minorities (Even though they're probably the majority now). Society no longer wants boys and straights and has no need for us. Such a course would have been used as just another excuse for putting guys down and promoting their agenda. No way I'm kissing a guy or some girl's a** just to pass high school. Now if they would be trying to help socialize kids according to the standards of the 50s then that would have been different, but those days are gone and never coming back. The only reason for guys is to fix the problems that women create because of their own stupidity. Then we're kicked into the street again. Either that or it's to provide a date for her wimpy brother. No thanks.

It's up to the states individually. There's a long list of things I wish were a standard part of the curriculum, but none of them are. Relationships would be nice, but even before that, I'd like to have more of the basics of adult life. In my day, they should have taught us how to use a checkbook, how to create a budget, how to plan for the future in all sort of ways.
I suspect that relationship training would get too screwed up by politics, for it to work. Look at all the interest groups who screw it up for adults, even now. I expect by the time they were done, they'd end up teaching kids the insane lies they taught me informally: that being polite at all times gets you the girl, that respecting boundaries causes you to be respected in turn, that the leaders of the world all have a sense of personal honor, and will support the best behaviors instead of promoting the most successful thieves and brigands. Good luck making any headway with THAT crap.

There is no way a "Relationship Course" could be taught in school today. You can not teach anything that has to do with Respect, Morals, and Heterosexuality because those are not the norm any longer.

Imo the purpose of schooling should be to make kids work ready, have a basic education and be able to take care of themselves financially, be able to cook and know about nutrition, first aid, be able to drive.
Relationship courses would fall into self care which should be part of P.E which should be teaching nutrition, sex ed, first aid, basic physiology, fitness etc.

yeah, I meant if it's done properly. Most likely it would indeed be how you describe... I was just watching the episode of everybody loves Raymond where Robert (a cop, no less) is slapped in the face multiple times by his gf and oh nothing happens, because of course men are supposed to take illegal assault from women. Almost every tv show has the men as bumbling idiots and the women in charge of everything and hitting them and nothing happening.

The church I used to belong to does this for couples who are planning on getting married. It's a required course. They also devote a couple months to relationship issues during the year for the entire congregation.
However, I'm not sure if taking a course really helps.
I think hands on real life experience helps the most.
Relationships are not always easy even when you have a positive attitude.

I agree - it should be a hidden project and used for testing, as well. Like 'The Thinning' all those who fail "The Asshole" test should be taken away by guards and executed. What a wonderful idea. World Peace & Loving Marriages - through genocidal annihilation.
In all seriousness, yes I do. Skip the superfluous courses - like P.E (because trust me- if they want to exercise and look hot as a teenager, then their parents can give them a gym or pay for membership) and they WILL exercise. More cerebral, useful forms of education should replace such things.
But of course they won't. That actually involves pre-thought and an effort to re-write the education system, which is just too much for politicians to be bothered with (when there's a planet to destroy through oil rigging profit) and corrupt capitalism.

I'd think only the longest married couples in the country would be qualified to teach such a class and they have ALREADY told us the key to a happy and LONG lasting relationship and it's COMPROMISE.
Of course, COMPROMISE is a "bad" word on today's dating scene. Most people are fundamentally selfish and as such, are very reluctant to relinquish any power or control, even in a relationship, sometimes, especially when in a relationship.
Thus divorce rates rising and marriage rates falling.

The longest married couple, really? Do you want this couple to also be able to remember why they were married too? I figure Alzheimers wouldn't exactly be a reliable form of education...
"Alright kids, the best thing about being married and living alone with your wife of over 75 years is that you get to meet a new woman lying in your bed every night.....Wait - ehrm.. that didn't come out right, did it? I guess the real reason is you get to BANG a new woman every night when you mistake your Viagra for multi-vitamin tablets... Nah..no wait y'all are 12 year olds..."

Of course "COMPROMISE" is the most important thing in a marriage. MOST(not all) men learn this while dating. MOST(not all) women could care less about "COMPROMISE", because they know, that all they have to do is withhold sex long enough and the man will come around to their way of thinking, or leave.
They get their way, or they get his stuff, so either way they win.

Well, in most cases a good man will bring more value into a relationship than a woman. Knowing that, a man with a woman who would use sex for leverage should let her know after she does it once that it won't be tolerated and I suspect that such a women will then stop.
If not, it would be in a man's best interest to leave such a woman. That said, a SMART man will have done that PRIOR to marriage, if not he will have set himself up for trouble.

I was just watching an episode of The Tonight Show, where Johnny Carson said (in 1994) that high schools *(and even in school before high school age) students should have to take courses in relationships. That was seriously a great idea and I wonder why all these years later it isn't done. Society would end up better as a whole, I bet, not only the romantic relationships...
I agree
No one ever taught me how to be a wife or went in depth about credit how to use it and what it means when owning and renting. There should be life courses for all high schoolers. So many classes that I never used outside of high school yet so many I needed but never had.
