Building Strong Marriages

Strong marriages do not just happen!

Marriage takes work. But it should also be fun.

We encourage couples to take steps to strengthen their marriages.

• Daily: connect face-to-face at least 15 minutes each day, check the emotional fuel gauge of each other.
• Weekly: have a date, just for fun, just the two of you (no kids, friends, or family)
• Yearly: get away for a few days by yourself
• Marriage builder: at least once a year do something (class, read book together, conference, retreat) aimed at stregthening your marriage.

Be alert to what is happening in your marriage. Don't wait until you are in a crisis to see help. Seek guidance to take your marriage to the next level.

You can have a great marriage!

Ed and Donna give guidance couple-to-couple to strengthen marriages. They also teach classes and conferences on marriage enrichment topics (Living Well in Marriage, Marriage Tune-up, Energizing Your Marriage, Developing Intimacy in Marriage, Marriage Talking Points, Conflict Resolution).
