WHO WE ARE
Smart Relationships is a dba name of the Foundation for a Great Marriage, Inc., a non-profit organization headquartered in the ‘cheesehead’ capitol of Green Bay, WI. We are relationship wellness trainers and emotional intelligence coaches. Our calling is to help you achieve your highest potential in both business and personal relationships. Success in life, however you define it, is 80% related to emotional intelligence, and only 20% to IQ.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
At our core, human beings are relational.
We have an innate need for positive, loving connections with others. We’re not meant to survive alone, let alone thrive. But positive, connected relationships don’t just happen automatically. From dating to marriage, parenting to the workforce, community activities to global politics, experiencing healthy relationships is a matter of learning and using the skills to succeed.
Anyone can learn how to have great relationships. There’s a lot of information out there. We believe in bringing you only what is proven, effective, and credible - using the latest insights from quantum physics, brain research, and social science. We work to save you the hassle of sorting out the bad from the good information, so you can achieve your relationship goals quickly.
WHAT WE DO
- PUBLISH research-based information about healthy relationships through our blog, newsletter, Facebook, and Twitter
- TEACH people the daily practice of healthy relationships through what we call “micro relationship education” using those four publishing channels
- COACH individuals, couples, and work teams to achieve their highest potential
- SPEAK to groups about emotional intelligence, healthy relationships and marriage, trends affecting the family, and the science of powerfully positive relationships
- COLLABORATE with like-minded organizations who share our passion for a better world through vibrant human relationships
OUR GOALS
- Help people become emotionally and relationally intelligent
- Help people form satisfying and vibrant relationships
- Help people identify destructive relationships
- Help people recover from failed relationships and develop new, healthier patterns
- Uphold marriage as the ultimate expression of couple commitment, and the gold standard for children and society
OUR HISTORY
In May of 2005 we started operations as ThinkMarriage.org. Since then, more than 14,000 teens, individuals, and couples have participated in our healthy relationship programs. We changed our brand to Smart Relationships in 2011 to better reflect the universal applicability of the skills and information we offer.
