"Seven Principles of Making Marriage* Work"
Welcome to the Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work Workshop!
- Have you been feeling like roommates?
- Do you fight about the same thing over and over again?
- Can you remember the last time you went out on a date or just had fun with one another?
- Were you thinking about therapy but not ready for the time or financial commitment?
- Do you have a good relationship that is going through some changes like the birth of a child or children going off to college?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this may be the training for you.
Education
Experience
Skills
This is an interactive and fun workshop. You will listen to a few mini-lectures, watch short video clips, see some demonstrations of the exercises, and get an opportunity for you and your partner to do the exercises for 10-15 minutes. When the group reconvenes, we’ll discuss our thoughts on the exercises. There are no questions about your personal discussion or circumstances -- we will talk only about what the exercise was like for you. You will receive support, and encouragement to help guide you through the process.
Workshops will be offered every 3-6 months and space is limited to 10 couples. Dates will fill up fast, so please reach out today by filling out the form below.
There are two formats for our workshops: in person and online.
If you have questions, please email me at jena@littleseedcounseling.com. I’m here to answer your questions about the workshop. I hope to welcome you to this wonderful workshop that will help you improve your relationship.
