Much of success and fulfillment in life depends on creating healthy relationships, yet it is one of the most difficult tasks. Through the marriage and family movement, many educational programs and approaches have been developed to give the needed knowledge and skills for creating successful relationships. Our conferences provide opportunities for networking and sharing research and educational programs in the following areas. We are interested including and promoting your program or presentations as well. 

Youth Relationship Education:
Many youth fall into bad relationships because they have little knowledge or self-awareness and poor relationship skills. The lives and future of our youth can be improved by teaching good decision-making, the nature of a healthy relationship, how to avoid destructive relationships and make smart choices about sex, and prepare them for lasting loving marriages.

Parenting Education:
Parenting is such a critical responsibility and yet there is almost no instruction as to how to do it well. Parents and children enjoy healthier and happier relationships when parents learn more effective discipline approaches and communication skills.

Marriage and Relationship Education:
Never before has marriage been less supported by social, moral, religious and cultural scaffolding. With changing gender roles and loosening of traditional values, couples have more challenges than ever before. Studies have shown that couples that learn realistic expectations, gender differences, problem-solving and communication skills have happier and longer lasting relationships. Conflicted couples that had lost all hope often learn how to rebuild a thriving marriage through this new information. Marriage education is key to build strong marriages, strengthen the parenting unit and make the most important relationships truly fulfilling.
