Training and development is one of the most important investments a company, organization, or church can make. It is also one of the most important investments an individual can make for his or her own personal growth. That's why I am a continuous learner. Helping others to develop new skills is not just what I do for a living but it is how I live. On a personal level, I am always reading books, gaining new certifications, updating current certifications, attending workshops, benchmarking and participating in industry-related associations.

Course Overview

High Impact Marriage Classes are more than informative; they are also Transformative.

Transformative Courses bring about sustainable life change in marriage. They do the seemingly impossible... They reach into the heart, mind and soul of couples to create spiritual change, emotional growth and an increase in love. These impactful courses empower couples with the practical application to live out God's plan for marriage.

The Difference:

Unlike traditional information-based marriage resources, transformative courses are distinctively interactive, experiential, and have a lasting impact on a couple's behavior. They guide a process that challenges and inspires couples to rethink their viewpoints and adjust their behaviors to improve how they interact with their spouse.

They combine information with attitudinal and interpersonal skills. These transformative courses focus on developing better communication, decision making, critical and creative thinking, coping and emotional skills. The unique nature of developing one's self during the course, leads couples to experience the full impact of their new behaviors and motivates them to continue improving long after the course is over.

Transformative Marriage Courses Help Couples Develop Skills to:

• Listen and truly hear one another
• Love one another in the way each needs to be loved
• Pray and grow spiritually closer
• Share in and support each other's dreams
• Strengthen their commitment to one another and their marriage
