We want to captivate, encourage, and inspire the hearts of all those married and to be married with a humbling sense of something greater than themselves..
*We briefly mention God in our commercial because most Americans identify as God following in one way or another and half divorce. We also mention 'something greater than themselves" above and in saying this, as well as referencing God, we recognize these notions mean different things to different people and in no way do we raise them to define them. Rather, we aim to unify under the umbrella of something greater than our own self.
Do you, or someone you know, need marital help... or want to help?
Our Message is In Our History
Kids Against Divorce was born in 2011 without knowing exactly what we would do. We just knew a voice was needed. While our name suggests we are an organization for kids, we are in fact a place for parents to calm their own voice and truly hear that Kids are Against Divorce! In establishing our identity, we knew people respond more favorably to what you’re for rather than what you’re against, however, while our research found many wonderful people throughout the country strengthening marriage, we also discovered the societal problems standing in their way continuing to grow. It was though these people were going up the down escalator. We didn’t want to be just another organization with good intentions that ultimately didn’t move the needle, so we decided it was important to be about what we’re against.
We explored ideas. On A Wing & A Prayer would be a tour of college campuses? Marriage Man, an idea for a cartoon superhero? The KADy’s as an awards show? KADU (Kids Against Divorce University) could be a place for learning? We did a podcast called Keeping It Together. We also turned to faith’s role in the problem and explored constructing mission trips called Marriage On a Mission. We started a class called Marriage Mondays. We’ve also been an integral part of a Million Minor March, and teamed up with a world renowned expert to operate a Valentine’s Day Giveaway of free marriage counseling. We organized petitions to Kraft Foods and The National Football League.
We created The KADvent Calendar – 25 Days of Marital Praise – which gives husbands & wives an Advent tradition of their own as they use a dry erase marker to leave a message on the bathroom mirror expressing love and appreciation based on a daily prompt we provide on December days leading to Christmas. All good things, however, none gained the traction we needed and were after.
A breakthrough occurred when we launched The Marriage Education Act.

KADGrove - A Living Monument Comprised of Family Trees, Later Rebranded as TreeAction.
Another place we put a lot of effort into that didn’t yield the momentum we needed.
We sought advice from leaders all over the country and out of these discussions grew GETWED, our most promising and exciting endeavor yet and the teeth The Marriage Education Act needs.
