The Need
In our divorce-prone society, 20% of all first marriages are disrupted by either separation or divorce in the first five years. After ten years, 33% of all first marriages are disrupted by either separation or divorce. We need to provide support for marriages in these critical early years and at other transition points as well.
From research we know each transition to a new stage of marriage presents challenges for a couple’s relationship. Mentoring before or during that entry into a new stage is an opportunity to provide “an ounce of prevention that is worth a pound of cure.”
Transitions:
- Newly married
- First child
- Career changes
- Children entering school
- Teenagers
- Empty nest
