What You Can Expect of a 180° Marriage Weekend
From the moment you arrive, you can expect to be welcomed and made to feel right at home. You can expect understanding—your facilitators, mentors, and your fellow participants are all here with one goal at heart, improving our marriages.
- You’ll begin by taking a little marital inventory at the outset to help outline your specific needs and aims for the weekend.
- On Saturday, you’ll spend time learning communication & skills-based conflict resolution techniques in Live the Life’s Adventures in Marriage curriculum. You’ll have the opportunity to put these new skills to work immediately in group sessions and one-on-one with your spouse. And you will see results!
- On Sunday, you’ll discover The Power of Us, focusing on the spiritual elements of your relationship, finding common ground, and addressing the how-to concerning the ‘us’ in your marriage relationship. Once again, you’ll have opportunities for group discussion and one-on-one application of these principles with your spouse. And again, you will see results!
- You will enjoy some wonderful meals and rich fellowship throughout the weekend. Many participants have come to enjoy enduring friendships with facilitators and fellow weekend participants. Follow-up opportunities in weekly Zoom calls lend ongoing support and encouragement for your journey forward.
