The Marriage Course
Would you like to enrich your marriage and do a little preventive care? The Marriage Course is designed for married couples who desire to build a strong and lasting relationship for a lifetime. Each evening includes a delicious dinner, an insightful talk, and a chance for each couple to discuss that evening's topic with their partner. During seven sessions, couples explore vital topics:
- Recognizing each other's needs
- Communication
- Parent and In-law relationships
- Good sex
- Having fun together
Each couple's privacy is respected as there is no small group time. While based on Christian principles, the course is very practical and is equally relevant for couples whether or not they are involved in a church.
One couple who took The Marriage Course commented, "This course offered different creative strategies for solving issues in our marriage. It was great to have structured one-on-one time alone with my spouse. I loved the fact that it was a mandatory date night."

Rebuilders
Are you hurting in your marriage and experiencing marital difficulties (affairs, ineffective communication, and drifting apart)? Rebuilders is designed for sinking marriages needing rescue. On a typical night, a teaching occurs with gifted speakers and the second hour includes small group discussion. Each couple is assigned a compassionate mentor couple to make Rebuilders a safe place to discuss issues. Many leaders are husband and wife co-leaders who have had marriage restoration themselves.

Issues typically addressed include:
God's Design for Marriage
