Executive Director

"If a disease were to afflict the majority of a populace, spreading pain and dysfunction throughout all age groups, we would be frantically searching for reasons and solutions. Yet this particular scourge has become so endemic that it is virtually ignored. The scourge is divorce, an oddly negelcted topic in a nation that has the worst record of broken marriages in the entire world. Divorce is the 'root problem' in our country and is the cause of any number of other social ills." - George Gallup, Jr.

WHAT SOME ARE SAYING:

Rick Marks is a treasure.  he can speak to - and inspire - any group: faith-based (ANY faith), secular, policy, business, media, youth - the downtrodden or the already there.  He convinces us that we CAN turn things around and restore strong marriages and families in our communities.  And, after he convinces us, he then teaches us how.  Step by step. (Diane Sollee, Coaltion for Marriage, Family, and Couples Education, www.smartmarriages.com)
