WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Why does talking to him sometimes feel like I am talking into a void?
Why does it sometimes feel like she just doesn’t know WHEN to stop?
Why doesn’t he understand me?
Why does she think I can read her mind?

If you have ever asked yourself these questions, then join us for a lively interactive half-day session with 3 married couples who, between them, have more than 30 years of married experience behind them, and even better, a combined aggregate of 13 children to testify to their commitment to each other and their staying power!

Explore with them some of the complexities of the male-female relationship and reacquaint yourself with the joys of married love.

Learn strategies to build on and strengthen your relationship with the most important person in your life, your spouse.
