LIVE THE LIFE

Your family is important to us! Explore our site to find tools and resources to strengthen your marriage and family.

BUILDING TOWARD A THRIVING COMMUNITY:

Live the Life is working to lower the divorce rate and strengthen marriages and families through skills-based relationship and marriage education programs, conferences, singles retreats, and youth development programs. Our partners include non-profits, churches, schools and corporations throughout Northeast Florida.

​

Jacksonville’s divorce rate plummeted by 24% after Live the Life’s three-year experiment and partnership with more than 50 local churches and nonprofits across the city. The decline is saving taxpayers an estimated $65 million and keeping thousands of children in homes with healthy marriages. 

"We believe that community wellness starts in the home, and that strong families are the foundation of healthy homes."

-Richard Albertson,
Founding President,

HOW CAN WE SERVE YOU?

Marriage classes

Whether you’re engaged or have been together for years, it’s never too late to invest in your marriage. Relationship education provides practical skills for a love that lasts.

Student groups

We partner with local schools and organizations to teach teens skills for fostering healthy relationships, avoiding risky behavior, and making positive life choices.

FAITH & COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS

Our community is stronger together. When we help mend the fragmentation of families, we reduce poverty, juvenile delinquency, incarceration, and many other issues affecting our community.

We are looking for supporters who share our vision for strong families, and who are willing to go “all in” to transform our community in dramatic ways.
