Marriage/Relationship Prep
Stack the Odds in Your Favor.
And what we call a love story is really just the beginning of a love story, but we leave that out. But most of us, we're interested in long-term relationships. We're not just interested in the moment that gets us into love; we're interested in the survival of love over time.
- Alan de Botton
Why Marriage Prep?
Sadly, over 50% of marriages end in divorce. The impact can be devastating, especially on children. In this course, you will learn skills that can help set you up for lasting relationship success; skills you may not have learned growing up and were not taught at school.
The Investment
In this relationship/marriage prep course, you will discover how to build a relationship that lasts and create the future you want for your family.
If couples allocated a fraction of the time spent planning their wedding to learning good relationship skills, more relationships would succeed and thrive. Put the time in now to reap rewards in the future.
The prime time to learn what it takes to build a lasting relationship is early in your commitment. The sooner you learn what it takes to redirect negative patterns, the less likely they will become entrenched and destructive.
We start out in love and with the best of intentions, but few of us get good relationship education. Our society focuses more on getting to commitment than on how to keep that commitment alive day after day.
