Fitness:
Stength Training for Your Marriage*
Workshop
Series
Is your marriage in top
condition?
Is your relationship strong enough to withstand the storms
of life?
Do you know how to build your relationship muscles for true
partnership?
If you answered
no
to any of
these questions, you may be taking the fitness, strength,
and endurance of your marriage for granted. With half
of all marriages ending in divorce, it makes sense to
be proactive.
There is LOTS of room for improvement between
OK
and
top
shape. It takes time,
energy, and practice to transform your marriage beyond the
surviving fifty per cent and into the thriving few.
We hold such high hopes for our marriage
and when it doesn't unfold quite how we imagined, there's no manual for
what to do next. Hope. Pray. Try. Do our best. The
