The Four Seasons of Marriage

THIS IS NOT YOUR USUAL MARRIAGE COURSE!!!

Marriages are in a perpetual state of transition, continually moving from one season to another – perhaps not annually, as in nature, but certainly and consistently. Sometimes we find ourselves in WINTER – distant, discouraged, and dissatisfied; other times, we experience SPRINGTIME – filled with hope, openness, and anticipation. Sometimes we bask in the warmth of SUMMER – satisfied and comfortable, simply enjoying life together. In times of AUTUMN, negligence and uncertainty creep in, leaving us feeling unsettled and apprehensive.

The cycle repeats itself many times throughout the life of a marriage, just as the seasons repeat themselves in nature. Each season presents its own unique challenges, and each holds the potential for emotional health and happiness. The purpose of this one day course is to help married couples and people looking to get married to IDENTIFY which season the marriage is and what are those elements that take a couple from season to season, and to provide practical strategies that will help to STRENGTHEN and enhance the marriage.

COURSE MATERIAL:

All participants of this course will be provided with a e-book specially prepared for this course.
