No one marries expecting divorce. Most couples begin with hope and excitement, but many are unprepared for the real work of marriage. Marriage matters because it provides stability, love, and a foundation for raising the next generation. Strong marriages build strong families—and strong families build thriving communities. That’s why MREC exists: to equip couples with the tools and support they need for lasting, healthy relationships.
