MARRIAGE MAPPING

In the day and age when clearly half of all marriages end in divorce and many others experience disharmony; it is evident that couples are lacking the preparation needed to succeed.  Whereas many faith-based organizations provide some form of preparation,  there still exists a void for those who lack access to this medium. 

Marriage Mapping seeks to fill this void by offering community based instruction to couples preparing for marriage. This course consists of 8 hrs. of group instruction and two 1 hour private consultations. Each couple completes a personalized weekly assignment and then joins the group in an interactive mode to maximize learning and enhance the relationship. John and Liz have facilitated this preparation for hundreds of couples for almost 20 years. Their fresh and candid approach coupled with transparency and honesty provides a relaxed atmosphere where participants are free to experience personal challenges and opportunities for growth. 

Topics covered include:

  • Expectations
  • Goals
  • Decision Making
  • Roles and Responsibilities
  • In-Law Relationship
  • Finances
  • Communication and Conflict
  • Personalized Needs
  • Sex and Spirituality
