Registration Information

What it is... 

This is the premiere workshop for Building Intimate Marriages. It is essentially the cream of Michael's 20 years of marriage work rolled into eight hours. This workshop is not "marriage lite". Couples are challenged to see marriage as the discipleship tool that it is and to embrace the journey of growing up in their marriage. Yet, the value of the workshop doesn't end on Saturday night. Each couple receives 2 workbooks filled with exercises they can do at home long after the workshop has ended. 

While this is the typical schedule, this workshop is quite flexible so we can adapt it to your needs.

Praise

My husband and I recently attended your workshop at West Ridge Church (April '08) and thoroughly enjoyed it.  We've been married 4 years - and while we don't necessarily have big issues to work on, we both could improve in some areas. With our busy lives and events going on we have not made enough time to focus on studying what we learned, but we are using some of the ideas you mentioned.  The Because I Love You card has been a HUGE hit. It is really fun to see what he's going to do next and for me to think of different things to do for him. ... Just wanted to send a quick "thanks" for your ideas.  We are really enjoying them. God bless you.

I've been to a lot of marriage workshops and I've never heard anything like this! Not your typical fun and fluff, your teaching was practical, unique and hard hitting. Thanks.
