Strengthening Your Marriage

Married couples,

I want to invite you to participate in a 4-week class that Good Shepherd is hosting this summer called “Strengthening Your Marriage." No matter how healthy our marriages are there is always something we can learn or do to improve them.

The class will be taught by professionals from CIFT, The Center for Individual and Family Therapy, and will cover topics such as communication and intimacy:

• How do you assert your needs in marriage?
• How do you express your hopes, dreams, wants?
• What’s the right way to communicate compliments and affection or respond to bids for attention?
• How can you be a better listener and learn healthy ways to communicate?

Because we’ve fortunate enough to have licensed professionals leading this class there is a small cost involved: $25 for the 4-week class. Considering a normal fee to see a professional for nine hours (the total amount of class time we’ll have over the four weeks) would conservatively run about $900, I think you’ll agree this is a great bargain!

The class will meet every Wednesday evening in July (6th, 13th, 20th and 27th) from 6:30-8pm on the Good Shepherd campus. Childcare will be provided. To sign up please visit the Strengthen Your Marriage event page.

Please let me know if you have further questions at or 562/493.2553 x116.

God's best to you,
