Program Guidelines at Affiliate Location

At many National Affiliate locations couples can participate in:

Marriage Education Classes for Engaged Couples

Marriage Education Classes for Couples In Crisis

We encourage each Affiliate to participate in the 8 Hour programs for Couples. Offering the courses in your location will provide nationwide uniformity. The standardized approach to couples intervention is the approved program for Marriage Centers Certified Marriage Educators. As an affiliate you always have the latitude to present the core principles of the course, along with your usual approved program content.


Couples who complete either 8- Hour Educational program will receive a complimentary follow-up private session certificate with a Marriage Educator of their choice.

Certificates will be issued by the National Marriage Centers office and mailed directly to Couple. The certificate can be used at any affiliate office throughout the country.
