Take Advantage of These FREE Marriage Resources From Utah State University

Once you become engaged, it’s quite common for everyone to start sharing their marriage advice. One of the most significant pieces of advice is related to this statement: 

“Communication is key to a happy & healthy marriage.” – check out this Stronger Marriage Podcast

And it couldn’t be more true! 

Working on topics like communication, boundaries, and mindfulness is essential in a marriage, and it doesn’t have to be an issue to be improved. In fact, all marriages (yes, even the most perfect ones) can benefit from marriage classes. Long gone are the stigmas surrounding what it means to work on a relationship. Marrying the love of your life is fantastic & special, but it is also hard! Taking classes to support your marriage is no longer seen as a sign of trouble, and instead is seen as a couple who values and respects their marriage enough to improve it continually. 

Utah State University has always been a leader in breaking the barriers surrounding marriage stigmas. One of the ways they do this is by offering a helpful webinar series called “Stronger Marriage Webinars.” There are multiple classes and webinars monthly on a wide range of topics. For example, there are two great webinars in June:
