The state of Oklahoma is tailoring a marriage and relationship preparation course for
the Chickasaw Nation, The Boston Globe reports.
With a budget of $2.7 million, the Prevention & Relationship Enhancement Program (PREP) is part of the Oklahoma Marriage Initiative. The Bush administration is using it as a model for its $1.8 billion pro-marriage proposal.
According to The Globe, the PREP curriculum is being changed for the Chickasaws and other groups including Christian, Jewish, and African-American couples, and prison inmates.
