About RRF
Building skills for healthy, lasting relationships makes a significant difference in the well-being of children, family, co-workers, church, and community.
Relationship Research Foundation (RRF) is a non-profit organization 501(c)(3) that provides skills-based relationship education programs, facilitator trainings, and public awareness campaigns, all toward the mission of helping others through relationship education. Founded in 2000, we have served more than 20,000 participants, resulting in hundreds of saved marriages and intact two-parent families.
CoupleTalk®, Love for Life, and The Third Option are three of the programs supported and funded by RRF.
