About Us

The Dibble Institute for Marriage Education is a nonprofit 501c3 organization dedicated to helping young people learn the skills necessary for successful relationships and marriages. We serve as a national leader in the field of youth marriage education. The Dibble Institute develops, publishes, and distributes materials that help teens learn how to navigate their romantic lives.

Our research based, best practice, developmentally appropriate programs – being taught across the country – teach students the skills and knowledge that are central to building and maintaining healthy romances and, eventually, marriages. 

Curricula are easily used in classroom, church, community, agency, and youth group settings.  They are appropriate for Family and Consumer Science, career prep and English teachers; youth agency workers; independent living coordinators; abstinence and teen pregnancy prevention workers; camp and after school program staff; Healthy Marriage, CBAE, and Head Start grantees; youth pastors; social workers; and parents.

The Dibble Institute is nonpartisan and nonsectarian. Our activities are funded through sales of educational materials and training services and through support from government grants, foundations, corporations, and individuals.
