Topics covered include: understanding each other’s needs, communicating more effectively, resolving conflict, healing past hurt, making time for one another, relating to parents and in-laws, good sex, learning how to make each other feel loved. Privacy is always respected. Each session involves input from a DVD, including talks, voxpops and interviews, plus time for discussion in couples. There is no group work, nor any expectation for you to discuss anything about your relationship with anyone else. “We nearly didn’t come... this year has been extremely hard... we came to a brick wall and didn’t know how to get through it. It has totally changed things around. We are going to get our marriage blessed next and have a fresh start.” “It was a fantastic atmosphere. Although we were amongst all these people I felt we were on a tropical island just the two of us. It was a great feeling just to spend time together.” Next course begins Monday 4 November, 7.45pm, Moulton Church Centre To book a place, contact the church office on 01604 495393 Real Lives R REAL R LIVES 21-26 JANUARY 2014...
