Brief Background:
The Oklahoma Marriage Initiative (OMI) has been providing free marriage education programs for couples, married or thinking about it, since 2002. The relationship-building, social service project was first developed by Governor Frank Keating in response to Oklahoma's alarmingly high divorce rate, out-of-wedlock births and child abuse-related deaths. After more than 200 state leaders attended a day-long brainstorming session entitled the "Governor and First Lady's Conference on Marriage," the groundwork was in place.
Keating assigned the task of overseeing the creation of the Oklahoma Marriage Initiative to his Cabinet Secretary for Health and Human Services, Jerry Regier. In the end, a partnership between the public and private sectors was constructed, and the OMI went to work.
A full and detailed history of the project is available on the official OMI website.

The Goal:
Through a variety of workshops, research projects and programs, the Oklahoma Marriage Initiative aims to help couples in nearly every facet of a relationship. From improving communication to valuable skills in parenting, a broad range of options are available for any relationship stage. Whether you've just begun to contemplate a wedding or have been together for many years, the OMI's goal is to strengthen the institution of marriage in our state.
Workshops:
The OMI has chosen the Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program (PREP) for marriage workshops all around Oklahoma. Designed to teach practical skills such as communication, preserving fun and friendship, maintaining commitment, identifying relationship danger signs and avoiding common pitfalls, the workshops are frequent and free.
All workshops are delivered by OMI-trained professionals. You can find a workshop near you using the OMI's online search form.
