What couples et familles does

Couples et Familles (asbl) is a Belgian non-profit organization headquartered in Namur, with a registered office in Malonne, that produces educational content focused on relationships, couple dynamics, family life, and broader social issues. Its primary product is 'Les Dossiers de Couples et Familles,' a series of quarterly thematic publications of 96 pages each, complemented by shorter topical analyses ('Nos analyses et réflexions') distributed through the organization's website. The dossier library spans more than 130 titles accumulated over the years, with recent issues addressing youth mental health (n°156, June 2026), modern couple life (n°155, March 2026), the middle class and precariousness (n°154, December 2025), transgenerational inheritances (n°153, September 2025), and asexuality (n°152, June 2025). The organization holds the recognition of 'organisation d'éducation permanente' from the Ministère de la Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles, validating its public-interest educational mission, and is GDPR-compliant in its handling of subscriber data.

Distribution is centralized on the organization's website (couplesfamilles.be), with a secondary Facebook presence and an email newsletter (name, surname, email). Subscriptions and memberships are processed primarily via bank transfer, and the organization also maintains a publishing partnership with Editions Feuilles Familiales for certain publications.

The revenue model is typical of a Belgian asbl, combining four streams: annual dossier subscriptions (€45 in Belgium, €55 in Europe, €65 internationally), annual adherent memberships at €50 (which include four dossiers plus event discounts), one-time gift boxes of six selected dossiers at €60, and tax-deductible donations of €40 or more to a dedicated Belgian bank account. The customer base is primarily B2C—individuals and families seeking educational resources on relational life—alongside a secondary segment of professionals working with families (social workers, educators, psychologists).

Direct peers

• Infor-Famille: Belgian federation of family information and documentation centers. Shares the same non-profit, family-education mission in Wallonia-Brussels and serves overlapping audiences seeking expert resources on couple, family, and parental issues.
• Editions Feuilles Familiales: Belgian family-education publisher that is already a publishing partner of Couples et Familles. Directly comparable as a print-publisher of family and relationship content serving the same francophone Belgian audience.
• Centre d'Action Laïque: Belgian francophone non-profit providing secular education and analysis on social, ethical, and family issues. Comparable as a parallel educational non-profit in Wallonia-Brussels covering overlapping topics such as relationships, sexuality, and family dynamics.
• La Ligue des Familles: Belgian francophone family-rights and education association operating across Wallonia and Brussels. Directly comparable to Couples et Familles as a similarly positioned non-profit serving the same regional audience on family-life and parental topics, but with a broader advocacy mandate.

Broad incumbents

• Office de la Naissance et de l'Enfance (ONE): Wallonia-Brussels public agency responsible for childhood, family, and parental support. Operates in the same family-education space at much larger scale as a publicly funded body, providing overlapping educational content and services.
• Fédération des Centres de Planning Familial: Belgian francophone federation of family-planning centers offering educational resources on couple life, sexuality, and family dynamics. A broader incumbent in the same education niche with wider public-health funding.
• Enseignement Catholique / SeGEC: Wallonia-Brussels federation of Catholic subsidized schools. Comparable as an educator producing family-and-relationship pedagogical resources for the same francophone Belgian audience, though at much larger institutional scale.

Regional players

• Union des Familles en Europe: European federation of family associations advocating for family policy and publishing educational content. Comparable as a family-education non-profit but operating at a pan-European rather than Belgian level.
• Fédération Française des Centres de Planning Familial (FNCPS): French national federation of family-planning centers producing educational publications on relationships, sexuality, and family life. Compares as a francophone non-profit education publisher, but in France rather than Belgium.

Others

• Fondation Roi Baudouin: Major Belgian foundation funding and producing research on social issues including family well-being. Related as a non-profit ecosystem participant in the family-education space in Belgium, though operating as a grantmaker rather than a direct publisher.
