Let’s Fix Arkansas’ Marriage Crisis

When churches unite around strong marriages, everything changes.

Join the Arkansas Marriage Challenge this February 7-14, 2026.

In 2022, Arkansas had the highest divorce rate in the nation

Divorce devastates families, but children pay the highest price.

Right now, children across Arkansas without two parents in the home are more likely to experience:

  • Higher poverty
  • Lower graduation rates
  • Higher risk of abuse
  • Higher incarceration rates
  • Higher suicide rates

It shouldn’t be this way for kids in our state.

But there’s hope
