30 Years of Stronger Marriages in Cincinnati!

In 1996, Dottie Parish brought the award-winning marriage program, The Third Option, to her church’s counseling center in Hamilton. And, despite changes in location, leadership and brand name, it has been running continuously for 30 years.

Thirty years of stronger marriages has come from steady, faithful people showing up. The next thirty years will come the same way—with real people stepping out in faith.

If you believe that marriage is the spiritual and functional core of the family, then we are inviting you to be part of our monthly donor club called Ring Bearers. Ring Bearers understand that a steady stream of support allows The Marriage School to set down deeper roots and extend more help to more couples.

“Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ” (Galatians 6:2). Money should never be an obstacle to a healthy marriage, so every couple who requests financial assistance receives it. That assistance comes from friends like you. Couples who once received a helping hand, often become the next ones to give it.

Your steady giving benefits the whole community. Monthly gifts give us firm ground to plan each semester, train volunteers, and welcome new couples with confidence. A small gift, given consistently, becomes a lasting part of this community.

Please watch your email for an exciting announcement about Giving Tuesday, December 1, 2026, coming soon that will multiply each and every gift during our end-of-year campaign.
