Couplehood is often a difficult road to travel.  But one thing we know, it is a spiritual path that calls us into wholeness and completion as human beings.  It is God calling us to our highest selves. We fall in love and get married and then all the unfinished business that we bring into the relationship starts to emerge.  Not knowing how to deal with it, we often argue and fight and feel disconnected.  But we know we want to stay together, we are committed to each other and in some way we feel unsure of what to do.  If so, this series is just for you!

This six week program is an educational adaptation of the book, Getting the Love You Want: A Guide for Couples by Harville Hendrix, Ph.D. and his wife Helen LaKelly Hunt, Ph.D.  The book has sold over 2 million copies and has been translated into 20 languages.

What is it about?

It’s about learning a powerful skill that will radically transform your relationship into a conscious one.  It is also about establishing an ongoing program for couples in the church.  Couples who take the course and would like to teach it are encouraged to offer it to other couples in their homes.

Improve your relationship with your partner

Dissolve long-standing conflicts

Heal childhood wounds in the safety of your love for one another

Grow into your full potential

Transform the “space between” you into sacred space
