Essential Conversations for a Lifetime of Love

Couples will have the opportunity to engage in a conversation about their relationship today and in the future. They will learn the helpful skill of asking each other powerful questions and sharing honestly with answers to enrich and enhance their relationship.
Conflict Management and the Power of Apology
Led by Pat and Julian Harwell
From time to time, disagreement and conflict will occur in even the most loving of relationships. The good news is that when conflict is managed well, it can lead to greater understanding and closeness. This workshop is designed to provide practical insights for maintaining affection and respect while navigating the twists and turns of conflict and disagreement.
Putting Fun Back into Marriage

Marriage is work, but it should be fun too. During this workshop, we will explore different ways we can make time together more enjoyable. We will discuss obstacles and map out a plan to add more moments of fun into our everyday marriage.
