Spiritual Foundations for Marriage and Family Life

Two distinct courses are available with the same basic topics, a course for married couples, and a course for individuals preparing for marriage.

These courses address marriage as the foundation for vibrant and loving family life, the bedrock of growing communities. Marriage workshops relate self-knowledge to success in marriage, develop the skill of consultation, explore roles and relationships within marriage, and offer strategies to solve problems and preserve marriages.
