Make it a Great Father's Day!
The Best Father’s Day Story!
With Father's Day upon us, HRC discovered this video that shares a father's story of the power of love, courage, and dedication. To all the dads, watch this clip and be inspired to go all out in your love for your kids ... no matter what it takes! Happy Father's Day from all of us at Healthy Relationships California.
Dick Hoyt has touched the hearts of many fathers with his example of selfless love and taught us all—even mothers—pure love and what can really come of it. Some would say miracles.

Fatherhood and Marriage by the Numbers

Research Shows Couples Can Increase Marital Happiness, Even Those on the Brink
Researchers at Healthy Relationships California have found strong gains in marital satisfaction among 17,245 participants of Marriage Education programs in California, the nation’s largest study on the immediate and long-term impact of Marriage Education. Before taking a Marriage Education course, only 44% of married persons considered themselves happy with their relationship, while 56% were moderately or highly distressed about their marriage. Six months after taking a skills-based Marriage Education course, only 32% of participants were moderately or highly distressed, while more than 68% were satisfied with their relationship—a 55% increase in the number of people feeling satisfied with their marriage.
