WHO: Everyone is welcome. Our workshop teaches couples skills that are helpful for those considering marriage, newlyweds and those married for many years.

"Our relationship was helped more from one workshop than we did from months of counseling, after 5 years of marriage."

"I have found that some of the relationship skills that I am learning in the Marriage Workshop are also helpful at work"

Since 2004 we have helped hundreds of couples both married and engaged with our Marriage Workshop. Most of the greatest success stories come from people who have been married several years as they take the training more seriously as frequently the existence of their very marriage is at stake.

WHEN: When we schedule it. Learn new helpful skills in each workshop. Every couple will benefit from only one workshop. They will benefit more from each workshop and there is a new workshop every Sunday for six weeks. And it is designed so you can start at any time.
