Globally marriages have a 50% failure rate by year 7, 2^ndmarriages have a 70% failure rate. People do not learn the skills they need to be successful at marriage and therefore marriage is our least successful adult relationship and also are most costly to our health, our financial well-being and the child it produces when it doesn’t go well. No one would get on an airplane with a 50% chance of surviving the trip, and yet people jump into marriage figuring it will work out.

Prevention is the best cure when it comes to marriage. Couples will benefit from learning effective couples the skills they’ll need to maintain their current happy relationship. Marriage is a high cost endeavor in which you are making a decision today that you will have to live with for the next 30 to 50 years. This decision has huge implication for your personal, financial and career goals.
