Five Towns Marriage Initiative (FTMI) is a local grass roots organization dedicated to promoting marital harmony and wellness. FTMI helps couples strive toward a balanced, stress free and happy family life by providing education, tools and resources to encourage couples to work together to find solutions to live together happily and in ever increasing closeness. FTMI serves to enable individuals and couples to truly accomplish their ultimate purpose in this world with their spouse and family as a pivotal and indispensible means to achieving all they possibly can in this world.

FTMI produces a weekly Shalom Bayis Newsletter that it distributes throughout the local Five Towns/Far Rockaway community that brings together divrei Torah and the weekly parsha, middos articles and stories woven together to help bring forth aspects of integrating Shalom Bayis into our daily lives. We provide a daily dial up Shalom Bayis inspiration line with 2-5 minute divrei Torah on timely topics including the parsha and topics again relating to Shalom Bayis. We host a 3x/week Shalom Bayis Hotline to address basic issues and act as a referral source to therapists in the area.

FTMI works closely with local therapists to offer reduced rates and attempts to offer financial assistance where needed to enable those unable to afford intervention the services they require. FTMI also continues to host community-wide programming in attempt to educate, inform and encourage couples and families to lead happier lives, with reduced stress and a stronger focus on Torah ideals.

FTMI does not limit its services to just the local community but attempts to assist anyone in the area, regionally, nationally and even internationally in any and every way we possibly can. We attempt to defray most of the costs for our programming in an attempt to make these more accessible to the entire community. Individuals or companies interested in sponsoring our programming, newsletters, inspiration line, hotline and anonymous sponsorship of couples can call us at 516 430 5280 or email us at [email protected].
