 Strong, healthy marriages have always been an important focus for the Family Life Council. Despite the promise in fairy tales and bridal magazines, a wedding is not the end of the story. As a nation, millions of dollars are spent on romantic weddings and exciting honeymoons. We pay much less attention to how relationships fare once the presents are unwrapped and the cake is eaten. The divorce rate still hovers around 50% and many married couples have found themselves struggling to have the quality of relationship they desire.
The Guilford County Marriage Resource Center was created to serve as a clearinghouse of information for professionals, lay leaders, and the general public. The Guilford County Marriage Resource Center offers:
- A website containing a community calendar of marriage related events – www.gcmarriage.org
- A resource library with books, videos, and curriculum
- Trainings for volunteers, religious leaders, and mental health professionals on how to create and/or implement marriage support programs.
- Speakers Bureau
- Coordinating the Community Marriage Covenant
- Administration and interpretation of the Prepare Inventory for engaged couples
- Programs for engaged and married couples
