February 3, 2012 (Springfield, OH) – The Marriage Resource Center of the Miami Valley is asking residents of Clark, Champaign and Greene Counties to provide insight to help continue improving the health of local marriages. An online survey at http://conta.cc/mrcsurvey asks participants to anonymously share their experiences with relationships, as well as their views and opinions on services that aim to keep marriages healthy.

“We observed a 17% decrease in Clark County marriage failures since 2004 compared to the preceding five year period,” said Ronda Nissley, Project Director, Marriage Resource Center. “This trend continues, but there is still much room for improvement.”

Completed submissions will remain anonymous, and survey results will be used to market marriage strengthening services and education to the Greater Dayton Region.

“It’s no secret that we all want to be in a happy relationship with someone that loves us,” says Nissley. “We want to encourage and enable couples to live happily together, and this process will help us understand how we can communicate what we do with the people who need to hear it.”
