| About Marriage
Works! & Jana Staton, Director |
The more you know about
how to make a lifetime partnership succeed,
the better your marriage or relationship will
be. Now the knowledge and practical strategies
that all couples need are available -- what
makes marriages work, what the real dangers
are, and what skills help couples get through
the tough times that inevitably occur. This
is practical knowledge that couples can use
right away. Marriage Works Learning Center
offers up-to-date, research-based knowledge
for all couples, through affordable classes,
private coaching and counseling.

Marriage Works is based in Missoula, and conducts
classes and workshops at locations throughout
Western Montana, usually in convenient hotel
conference space. Churches, companies or community
agencies are invited to sponsor a class for
their own members, with a significant savings
in cost to couples by providing space and
advertising.
Marriage Works is independent and not part
of any denominational or religious program.
MW programs present the best information from
the Smart Marriages Conference, sponsored
by the Coalition for Marriage, Family and
Couples Education (CMFCE), a broad national
coalition of educators, therapists, religious
organizations and policy makers committed
to supporting healthy marriages and lifetime
partnerships.
