The Art of Marriage OPS Campaign (& Applebee’s Gift Card Giveaway) #marriageops

Studies show that divorce rates increase with each new deployment. With many servicemen and servicewomen scheduled for another deployment this year, your donation could give a struggling marriage the tools needed to keep a family together before it’s too late.


Since 2001, military divorces have increased by 42 percent. The Art of Marriage Opps campaign believes they can help!


Designed to raise awareness about the challenges that military families face when returning home, The Art of Marriage Ops campaign does much more. It equips military couples with The Art of Marriage DVD series. This proven program has shown to both strengthen marriages and prevent divorce by providing simple, effective insights for helping couples to cultivate a healthy and happy relationship. 

The Art of Marriage Ops campaign cannot happen without you. Together we can provide The Art of Marriage DVD series to individual couples in order to give them the needed direction to strengthen their marriage as well as to groups who host events for our military couples. For this reason, please consider three donation opportunities. 

1. TEXT $10. Make a $10 donation right now by simply texting OPS to 80888 to help a military couple attend an event showcasing The Art of Marriage.
2. SPONSOR A KIT. Purchase the entire DVD set of The Art of Marriage to be donated directly to a group leader, organization or church. These will provide military couples with the opportunity to discover The Art of Marriage at an event.
3. HOST A GROUP. Help a military couple in your community or church by hosting an event focused on The Art of Marriage. You’ll receive a free kit and will be able to directly impact a couple’s relationship. Text HOST to 85005 now.

Finally Home to Family – Helping Military Families!

With the recent return of over 300 military service men and women to Selfridge Air Force base recently, it really got me thinking... {1} about how wonderful it was to see all the happy faces of the families of those serving overseas and {2} wondering how each of them gets acclimated back into everyday life. Fortunately, there is help out there to help with the stress of having a loved one in the Military. The Finally Home To Family widget below offers help.


For many service men and women, the day they return home is the happiest day of their lives! We have all seen the happy reunions of families during the holidays, but what happens after the reunion is over? For many men and women, it's the beginning of a new struggle, the struggle to put their families back together again, and it's certainly NOT easy. Military divorces have increased a staggering 42% since 2011, and unfortunately, it's sure to increase with the number of service men and women returning home from Afghanistan.

• Take a Romance Recipe Quiz - Answer a few simple questions to get the answer to you and your spouse's secret romance ingredient.
• Get Date Ideas - The Finally Home Date download offers suggestions to spice up your date life, enhancing your romantic life.
