"For outstanding efforts in strengthening
step relationships across America"
We address the issues of; how to organize it, how to build a partnership, couple strength, who comes first, roles, rules, responsibilities, manners, discipline, the ex spouse and much, much more.

We are the only organization to devote ourselves solely to these issues for over 30 years. We have identified the classic dynamics and have established proven solutions. Our work is supported by substantial research involving more than 3000 people living in step relationships.
