Marriage Enrichment:
At any one time, most marriages report themselves to be currently
satisfied... for the 5% that report unsatisfied, most of them will
cycle back to satisfied within a few years... but some will divorce
with devastating consequences for everyone. Most marriages
will cycle temporarily into the unsatisfied minority at some
time. The problem is that while couples are generally
satisfied, many won't invest in building relationship skills
like attending a couples class. The solution is to regularly
invest in strengthening your marriage while you are generally
satisfied... it is like changing the oil and plugs in your car... it
prevents inefficiency and more serious problems down the road...
Take a class today to keep your marriage and family running
well! Below are opportunities for enriching your relationship:
