TTO gave us the right tools to support our marriage and each other. The small group setting, teaching and sharing speakers are wonderful, creating a personal and safe environment .. married or single, everyone can use the tools..
I first came into the class not expecting much since I've never been in a relationship but that proved to be irrelevant. I've learned so many useful skills that I can apply to other relationships I have currently, such as friends, family, and co-workers. Everyone who works here too is amazing, I have nothing negative to say about any of them. They all have a huge heart for the attendees and love seeing them grow stronger in their relationships as they go through the class.
The Third Option has helped me to be a better version of me, a better husband, a better father, better son, better friend. It helps me to identify how to communicate with others more effectively because I have skills that I have learned from The Third Option.
Dr. M.P. Wylie of Relationship Research Foundation has provided relationship skills courses (Mastering the Mysteries of Love), that are practical, enjoyable, and invaluable to the couples who participated. We intend to continue to bring this great resource here (church setting).
MML is a tremendous communication program that enhanced the relationship between my wife and me. It also helped us with our communication and relationship with our children.
I've attended numerous workshops with my boyfriend early on in our relationship, at his suggestion. Now after a little more than a year of dating each other, we are ready to talk about marriage and having children together. The Journey to Love, Ready for Love, and PAIRS classes has helped us connect sincerely with each other, improved our communication and conflict resolution skills, and has been a catalyst to progress to where we are today. Thank you MP!
We took the "Mastering the Mysteries of Love" and "Ready for Love" classes and found them very interesting, fun and informative. So much so, that we are now workshop presenters.
It delights us to see people benefitting in their relationships both romantic and in family interactions when they take the classes.
My first class was "Journey to Love" and I enjoyed it, as well as learning more about myself and others.

As a couple we attended one of the RRF programs called Mastering the Mysteries of Love. Even though we have an exceptional marriage and have been together 43 years, we found the class reinforced the communication skills that creates successful relationships and plan to volunteer to help other couples have better marriages in our church.
The relationship research foundation gave a presentation for our foster parent couples titled "Keeping your marriage alive". It was an excellent resource for foster parents. They have a lot of stress and need to remember to work on their marriage.
I took a couple of classes at RRF: Journey to Love and a Communications class. Both were absolutely terrific! I took the classes because I was having problems in intimate relationships.
The Journey to Love class really helped me learn valuable information about myself and the type of partner I was searching for. Prior to that class, I had not been successful in finding the right partner. Due to that class I'm now in a committed relationship and I am very happy!
The Communications class was also very helpful because it gave me various tools to make communication with others more productive. It also gave me the opportunity to learn how to a better and more understanding listener. The skills from the class were a great addition to the Journey to Love class and came in very handy when I was going through the process of finding my partner.
I highly recommend RRF to anyone thinking about becoming a better partner. The skills learned at RRF will make your relationships soar! Whether you are single or married, you can benefit from the classes. The staff is outstanding, as well as very friendly and warm. The organization is made up of very caring people and that makes a real difference!
Love the relationship skills classes at RRF. This kind of information should be shared with every couple. The classes I have been to at RRF were interesting and fun, and the facility is very nice. I highly recommend this kind of class and the Relationship Research Foundation!
I have worked with M.P. Wylie and Relationship Research Foundation staff for over 4 years as their accountant. I find them very accountable, conscientious and professional in their business. Their programs and outcomes have surpassed the expectations of granters and donors due to the experienced and professional effort put forth by M.P., her staff and volunteers. A top notch program and non-profit organization that I am proud to work with.
