This option allows the couple to meet with other engaged couples in a group setting. The workshop is facilitated by trained therapists, providing an introduction to important topics such as finances, rituals, continuing to date, growing old together and more. The workshop features presentations to the group and allows for each couple to work individually on exercises (some pre-work will be assigned) and activities designed to increase self-knowledge and knowledge of each other and to build skills in communication and conflict resolution. This is a great start to those important conversations you will continue throughout your marriage. In addition to other necessary skills, the workshop also presents an understanding of marriage as a covenant.
This workshop will meet virtually for 3 sessions and utilize breakout rooms for smaller group discussions:
- May 17 and 18: Friday from 5:30 pm-8 pm and Saturday from 9 am-11:30 am and 1 pm-3 pm.
