Marriage Course: Communication and Community is a four-week course hosted by Pat and Monica McCain designed to help young married couples and couples with children learn to communicate and work through conflict. Another important goal for this class to provide an opportunity for couples to build meaningful connections with other couples. Strong communication and circles of support are two vital needs for marriages to flourish.
This all-new experience with a fresh, interactive format. Each week we will interview a relationship expert who will share their insights about how to strengthen our marriage, grow together, deepen our intimacy, and build community with other couples. There will be open and honest discussions, and we will share lots of practical tools.
Each couple will also receive a copy of Rebekah and Gabe Lyons book, The Fight for Us: Overcome What Divides to Build a Marriage That Thrives.
The course meets Sundays, September 28–October 19, from 5:00–7:00 PM in the Family Life Center. Thanks to a kind donor, registration is free and each evening includes a delicious dinner, a helpful course book, and complimentary childcare to make your evening stress-free.
