The Art of Marriage APP + $20 Applebees Giveaway!

Closed.  Congrats to:  Maureen L.



 If you have family or friends in the military, then you know how this can put a strain on a marriage when spouses are deployed for long periods of time.  Help the men and women who have defended the Good 'Ole USA strengthen their marriages! The more people who realize this is an issue, brings us one step closer to helping more families!

It’s not just military men and women who need help with their relationships.  Below are Five Great Inspirational Date Ideas that will help bring you closer to your partner!


Help spread the word! When Tweeting please use hashtag #marriageops Five Date Ideas!

You can text OPS to 80888 and donate $10.00 to help our men and women in the military strengthen their marriage by attending an event showcasing The Art of Marriage! That's less than the price of two cups of coffee!
