How it all began

What is MERCI?

Couples often wait until their marriage is in shambles before they’ll seek help. Marriage Education Resource Center, Indiana (MERCI) has ongoing marriage enrichment studies, workshops and mentoring programs that will encourage husbands and wives to maintain a loving and respectful relationship.

Biblically-based marriage studies are offered utilizing various formats - live teaching, table discussions, couple projects and/or marriages videos from renowned Christian speakers and authors; free monthly workshops are held with invited guest speakers presenting a variety of topics - communication, conflict resolution, sexual intimacy, parenting, blended families and addressing other challenges common to most couples.

Couples in crisis are encouraged to attend any of the these programs. However, MERCI also utilizes an assessment and mentoring program, PREPARE-ENRICH. Facilitated by experienced married mentors, certified in this program, couples will meet for 8 weeks with the goal of returning to the oneness they once enjoyed. Using a variety of trusted principles and tools, couples will re-engage with better communication and conflict resolution skills in all areas of their marriage.
