Bushman et al. concluded from their study on aggression in married couples that relationships could be improved by:

        a. mandatory sentencing guidelines and resources for those accused of domestic violence

        b. mandatory premarital classes with a member of the clergy to ensure that couples understand the commitment of

           marriage and healthy ways to deal with conflict.

       c. early intervention programs in schools to teach children how to argue effectively and avoid violent situations

       d. interventions designed to provide individuals with metabolic energy through increased brain glycogen that can be

           used for self- controlled restraint.
