Equipping marriages with the right tools, skill sets and resources
Our Services
Education
Knowledge is power. That’s why we focus on educating couples first – to build a solid foundation for a happy and healthy marriage. The Marriage Project education journey is encompassed of:
The Toolbox: where community partners teach every couple various skills related to everyday life, including nutrition, fitness, credit repair, financial education and much more.
Marriage Labs: developed to empower couples on multiple topics that play essential roles in leading successful relationships -- including communication and negotiation skills, sex and intimacy, parenting, managing blended families and more.
Leadership Development: those interested in sharing their acquired knowledge to help other couples can become relationship mentors, marriage coaches and spiritual guides through the Prep 8.0 Marriage Curriculum and the Prepare and Enrich Certification.
Healing
Helping couples and families heal their relationships is a great part of our mission and passion. We partner with counseling centers and private practices like our friends at Bridgework Counseling and Agape Child & Family Services to assist in these efforts. We believe that through customized counseling and therapy sessions, couples have the opportunity to salvage their marriage and rewrite their love story. Through these sessions, we work with:
Married couples to help rebuild their relationship for a stronger marriage;
Soon-to-be-married couples to build the strength necessary to begin the important chapter and commitment that is marriage;
Divorced individuals to help heal past wounds and establish new foundations for future relationships;
Couples facing family issues that may be interfering with their marriage;
Re-married couples looking to blend their extended families and navigate the complications that may come with it.
Marriage Counselor and Therapist Dr. Eddie Rivera also partners with churches to offer pre-marital and pastoral group counseling labs.
Reinforcement
Maintaining a healthy marriage is not always easy. It requires continuous work, dedication, faith and persistence. Through events, conferences and retreats hosted throughout the year, couples are able to meet other couples on the same journey to help reinforce the knowledge and tools acquired through The Marriage Project. With access to an array of counselors, speakers and community leaders, attendees receive priceless guidance to reach a place of love and bliss.
Outreach
We believe everyone deserves to be in a healthy, happy and everlasting marriage – as God intended it – and that every marriage can thrive. Through our ongoing effort to share marriage tips and resources through social media content, podcasts and other platforms, we strive to inspire and reach as many couples to help reverse high divorce rates.

FAQs
Is it important to be in love to get married?
Love has a way to endure, loss, pain, financial struggles, sickness and poor health. But marriage will never endure without love. “Where there is no love, lust and selfishness reigns”.
Shouldn’t my spouse move on and forgive my mistakes?
Prayer won’t get you out of what you’ve behaved into! Your past actions have consequences. Once you own them, you will realize there is a price to pay and a process you must go through in order for trust to be restored in your marriage. Put your head down and every day be that man you can be without excuses or rambling words!
Why won’t my wife and kids respect me?
Your family just might not know where you are going so why should they follow? The vision has not been established or cast correctly. As men, we must make sure that our words line up with our actions. We must follow through with consistency to change and be different. If we do, the family will accept and acknowledge the changes. Then they will follow. If they don’t believe you, they are waiting for the next exit ramp to jump out of the car. Meaning they will find an excuse to disobey you and your commands.
