What People Are Saying About Marriage Works! Ohio

“[The classes] were a great chance for us to reconnect after several years of focusing mostly on our young daughters.  We realize we need to keep our marriage strong to keep our family strong.  [The facilitators'] enthusiasm and commitment to developing strong marriages is to be admired and appreciated.  We thoroughly enjoyed our time in class and would recommend this program to anyone considering 'taking the plunge.'  What a great program!!  We'll never forget it!!  Thanks!!

~J. & A., Marriage Builders and Love Thinks Participants

“These past few years were very hurtful times for me...I heard about Marriage Works and began to attend classes.  I also took advantage of the individualized education and received my very own mentor. I can truly say I have learned so much and feel better about life and my future.  This experience was and still is life changing. My mentor helped me to see I had all the resources and wisdom to be myself, choose healthy relationships, and move on from my past hurts.  I recommend Marriage Works! Ohio to any person or couple seeking to grow stronger in life, relationships, and themselves.  To my wonderful mentor I say thank you, and thanks Marriage Works!”

~M., Love Thinks Participant

“Thanks for the information you shared about healthy and unhealthy relationships.  The information you shared about what to look for in a relationship and sexual decisions gave us a lot to think about.  The information on budgeting and conflict resolution was practical and helpful.  You gave us some good advice...to make our decisions based on what is best for us.  The information will help us make wiser, more informed decisions in our lives.  It is important for each one of us to be informed about issues that will affect our health and the well-being [of our] families.”

~Go for the Gold Class Participants

[We] are still newlyweds with almost seven months of marriage.  We feel that we are still on our honeymoon, and we are still getting acquainted with one another.  The question could be...'Why would we need a tool such as Marriage Works at this time in our relationship?' 

We have discovered there is so much more to marriage than we could ever imagine. Just before we got to what is considered the end of the honeymoon period, we started going to the Marriage Works classes. We learned that the honeymoon never has to end. Marriage Works has put sparks in our marriage and dazzle in our relationship...

What R. liked most about Marriage Works were our facilitators who kept it real with us in a loving way. He liked the communication skills...learning to listen to one another, so that we may have a better way of loving and being helpful to one another.”
