Did You Know?

Every 13 seconds, there is one divorce in America. There are 9 divorces in the time it takes for a couple to recite their wedding vows (2 minutes).

These statistics aren’t meant to scare or deter you from the possibility of having a strong marriage. They are realities that we address and seek to undo in our Marriage Matters program. Marriage help is just one click away. Other marriage programs may charge you by the hour or by some other means, but our services are FREE for qualified couples!

Some of the most important aspects in a healthy marriage include:

    • Connection
    • Commitment
    • Giving
    • Respect
    • Trust
    • Intimacy

Our Mission: To enable married couples, at every stage, to build and sustain a healthy marriage

Relationship counseling can be the first step to help with marriage problems. Online marriage counseling and relationship counseling are not widely discussed topics, but we need to start the conversation to make the difference. Getting marriage counseling can be a difficult topic, but you don't have to be scared. We are here to guide you in having an easy marriage.
