Marriage Helper saves marriages and strengthens families

Meet Kim Beam Holmes, CEO of Marriage Helper.

Kimberly Holmes, CEO of Marriage Helper, knows a thing or two about divorce and reconciliation - she was born after her parents divorced and remarried… each other! They used that experience to create Marriage Helper, a series of workshops to help couples headed for divorce, and now Kimberly is following in their footsteps, to great success. Over 250,000 people have gone through Marriage Helper and 3 out of 4 couples end up reconciling after the experience! As Kimberly says their mission is “saving marriages and strengthening families.”
