76% of married couples say they wish they had pre-marriage education.
86% of Americans over 18 say all couples considering marriage should get pre-marriage education.
Couples who do not receive pre-marriage education are more likely to see their problems as atypical and unsolvable.
41% of divorced couples say lack of pre-marriage preparation contributed to their divorce.
So does pre-marriage counseling work?
Absolutely. Research conclusively shows that couples who succeed, gain the knowledge they need before they settle into destructive patterns that often lead to divorce. In fact, couples are 31% less likely to get divorced if they get some sort of pre-marriage training before they marry.
