HAVING THE MARRIAGE YOU’VE ALWAYS WANTED

For a lot of couples, marriage is extremely hard work. This is true, not because our spouse can be so difficult, but because we are all broken people.

The first session will be from 9:45-10:45 a.m. in the Chapel. The second session will take place that afternoon. Please come with questions as there will be opportunities to ask them as a part of each session. Registration is requested, but not required except for childcare.
