Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work      A Class for Couples

A strong and solid marriage can be one of the great joys of life. Building that strong marriage takes work, patience, and understanding. Pastor Mitch and his wife Shannon will be offering a 6-week group for couples where we will explore tools for building a strong marriage and think about how we might apply them to our lives. For this group, we will be using the book The Seven Principles for Marking Marriage Work by John Gottman. Whether you’ve been married for a year or 50 years, this book will offer tools and insights that will help you and your partner strengthen your current relationship.

The class will run six weeks. As this is a discussion-based activity the class size is limited to five couples. If you are interested, please speak with Pastor Mitch or Shannon and they will include you in their planning as they schedule the class. Each couple will need a copy of the book (available on Amazon in softcover or electronic edition).
