What is the Marriage Prep
Seminar?
The
Marriage Prep Seminar is an opportunity to learn practical relationship
skills in a fun and relaxed atmosphere with other engaged and
newlywed couples who are having many of the same life experiences
that you are. Join us for this one day event and set your marriage
up for success!
Is this premarital counseling?
It is similar to premarital counseling in that it gives you
an opportunity to explore your unique relationship and learn practical
skills for enhancing your relationship. It is different in that
you do not have to share any personal information with the facilitators
or other participants unless you choose to do so. Everything you
discuss privately with one another may stay just that - private!
What will we learn at the seminar?
How to stay connected to one another in ways that will sustain
you for a lifetime
The four ingredients to effective communication
The warnings signs of escalating conflict
What money means to each of you
How to understand and honor your differences
How to foster intimacy and communicate your needs
How to nurture your shared values and deepen your relationship
Is there a spiritual component
to the seminar?
The seminar provides a time for you to dialogue with your partner
about your own spiritual beliefs, practices and/or deeply held
values.All spiritual traditions are respected and
welcomed.
