Loving on Purpose Relationship Skills Series

A premarital course for those considering marriage.

Many Christian couples these days are having to "Define their Relationships." It's that awkward conversation that either pushes us apart because we were on different planets concerning this relationship, or it helps what we have to begin to blossom into something even more beautiful. This premarital course is designed to help couples examine the path they will travel together and carefully consider the strength of their relationship. The topics include: Love Languages * The Communication Dance * Conflict Management * The 7 Pillars of Healthy Relationships * Building and Protecting Intimate Connections * Family History: Exploring your 'Normal' * Couple Mission Statement * Powerful Decisions & Powerful People.

Within this series you will find Danny's comedic style of presenting as well as a serious attempt to bring couples into a reality check about their decision toward marriage. The GOAL of this series is to impart COURAGE - courage to either push through the challenging realities of the relationship or the courage to walk away from the relationship.

Whether in a class room setting or independently reviewed as a couple, this material will lead people through the common condition of "La La La" and present hard realities most do not even consider until long after the "I do's."
