Do you know the shocking truth about marriage in America?   Since 1970, the marriage rate has dropped by 65 percent.   Even more concerning, most adults under 35 weren't raised in a married home. That's right – the norm of a two-parent household is rapidly disappearing.   At Communio, we’re sparking a relationship revolution—working with churches to teach healthy dating and marriage skills to foster faith and raise kids with married moms and dads.   Together, we can change the narrative. https://lnkd.in/ejfYYjsa

Our mission is to help you bring more souls to Jesus Christ by evangelizing and discipling relationships and marriages through a Full-Circle Relationship Ministry® at your church. We want to witness the glorification of God through powerful testimonies, such as the one shared by a spouse at a recent marriage retreat hosted by one of our church partners:   "This weekend saved our marriage. I am not kidding. Before we came to this marriage retreat, I thought we were finished. But now, I can’t believe I have hope again!"

What do our children need?   They need present parents.   “Children do not need perfect parents, perfect scores, or a perfect path to a perfect future. They don’t need fancy schools, expensive vacations, or a larger house. What they need are parents who are physically and emotionally present, relaxed, and unconflicted about where they should be.” https://lnkd.in/eVTj5UCG
