Our Marriage Enrichment events use three programs (4 Lenses, The Gottman Institute’s Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work, and The Five Love Languages) to help couples learn not just that the secret to a successful marriage is communication, but how best to openly and honestly communicate in a way that is empowering to both members of a couple and how to focus on what will make their union stronger, rather than dividing it. These are not religious based events, we utilize multiple couples programs to develop communication and connection.
