Marriage Savers

We welcome you to an exciting ministry here at Skyline, and we invite you to share our vision for covenantal marriage and to make your marriage even stronger.


There are proven ways to give you “marriage insurance” by proper preparation before the wedding, learning skills that can strengthen existing marriages, and reconstructing even severely troubled ones. Divorce is not the answer!

Did you know:

  1. Half of all marriages today will fail even though 85% of all marriage ceremonies involve the church.
  1. The number of unmarried couples has soared twelve fold from 430,000 in 1960 to over 5.3 million now.
  1. Most younger Americans now spend some time living together outside of marriage, and unmarried cohabitation commonly precedes marriage. Unfortunately, for couples who live together before marriage, many will never marry, and 75% of those who do marry will end in divorce.
  1. There have been 42 million divorces since 1970, shattering the lives of 40 million children. One quarter of all adults, ages 18 – 35, have grown up in divorced families.
  1. In only 10% of second marriages do both partners reconstruct happier lives—even 10 years after divorce.
  1. 90% of marriages in crisis, or having severe difficulties, can be restored.
  1.  The United States has both the highest church membership and attendance rate... but also the highest divorce rate in the world.

Here at Skyline, we want to change the reported statistics and build more successful marriages.
