Marriage Really Works Education for Engaged Couples:

In Pre-Marriage Education we ask engaged couples (and seriously dating) "Do you want the 5-year plan or the 50 year plan?"  Our willingness to share our lives and marriage experiences with engaged couples is a key component to the "50 year plan.”

Most couples face their most serious challenges during the first three to five years of marriage.  Through active marriage preparation, many of these problems can be avoided, or at least minimized, so they don't become toxic to an early marriage.

The goal of marriage coaching is to get couples to surface, probe, and discuss key issues BEFORE they get married.  

The curriculum Living Stones uses is called Start Smart, a program offering a step-by-step outline guiding coaches through the process.  

It is found that eighty percent of those couples attending this course will marry, while the other twenty percent will walk away or postpone the wedding.  This statistic proves how beneficial the coaching curriculum is to couples before they say "I do" and to those who do take advantage of having a marriage coach.

Marriage Really Works Education for Newlyweds and Seasoned Couples:

God + Husband + Wife = Covenant Relationship

Marriage isn’t simply something that mankind dreamed up.  It is a divine foundation given to us as a blessing by God.  Marriage is the fundamental building block of the family.  Secular research has confirmed that marriage is a benefit. 

Married men and women are:
·         Healthier
·         Wealthier
·         Happier
·         More faithful
·         Have more personal fulfillment
·         Better relationships with their children

Children from married unions are:
·         More successful, physically and emotionally healthier
·         Less prone to criminal behavior
·         Less likely to grow up in poverty, be sexually active, or abuse drugs or alcohol
In 2008, a renowned policy and research group developed the Annual Taxpayer Costs for Divorce and Unwed Childbearing.*

This research estimated that Florida residents pay close to $2 million dollars for family break-ups:
·         53.5% of the total poverty living in    unmarried households with female householder
·         1,106,000 is the number of unmarried households with female householder
·         It costs taxpayers $967 per female householder or total exceeding $1 billion dollars
·         Poverty is reduced when female householder marries reducing poverty to 32.1%
·         Reduces the cost from $1 billion dollars to $358,078,324, saving taxpayers $641,921,676
