Marriage Friendly Communities is a
project of Teen-Aid and is funded by donations and volunteer efforts plus the cost of programs.
Marriage is good for couples, their
children and their communities. With this
in mind the federal government, with the assistance of local agencies, intends
to improve the quality of marriages and the relationships they create for their
children.
The goal is to equip small communities and rural
populations with skills for residents, raise the awareness of the value and
importance of marriage and reduce the divorce rate in Eastern Washington.
Some of the
activities to be implemented are:
-
Relationship skills for local high school students in their
Economics and Consumer Science classes
-
Relationship skills and premarital education for nonmarried
pregnant women and nonmarried expectant fathers
-
Premarital education classes for premarital couples seeking
marriage
-
Enrichment programs for married couples
