About Us
At Live the Life, we teach skills that build a deeper bond and connection so you can create and keep relationships you love. We do this through quality, research-based relationship education programs for couples of all ages and stages, as well as teenagers.
We have 3 strategic goals to transform our community:
1. Reduce the Florida divorce rate by 50% by 2029
2. Increase the marriage rate
3. Reduce teen pregnancy and out-of-wedlock births
Our History
Richard and Elizabeth Albertson started Live the Life in 1998 with a mission to strengthen marriages and families. They started Live the Life out of the painful lessons learned from the brokenness of their own marriage. With the growing epidemic of divorce and family breakdown spreading across America, Richard and Elizabeth’s passion is to provide individuals and couples with the practical tools, skills, and resources needed to transform marriages and families.
After many years of steady growth and increased impact, Live the Life became a statewide organization in 2011. Today, Live the Life has offices across Florida in Tallahassee, Jacksonville, Panama City Beach, and Orlando. We also recently opened our first office in Texas!
In Jacksonville
Did you know that Jacksonville used to be considered the city where marriages go to die? It was the divorce capital of Florida until 2016-2018 when the divorce rate in Duval County dropped 28% thanks to the work of Live the Life with the Culture of Freedom Initiative (COFI). During this campaign, Live the Life was able to serve over 15,000 people in the Jacksonville area through marriage & relationship education programming.
It's been six years, but we want to keep the momentum going. Will you join us in our mission to continue to drive the divorce rate down in Jacksonville?
