Shownotes

Joining us on this podcast are Francis and Jocelyn, who share how they maintain their strong bond amidst competing factors. Tune in to discover more!

The Connect2 Marriage Preparation Workshop equips couples with handles to walk into marriage.

Through the guidance of husband-and-wife trainers over 3 sessions, participants will learn to:  

  • Engage in effective communication and healthy conflict 
  • Plan and manage family finances well 
  • Understand sexual intimacy and the importance of romance 
  • Manage expectations and plan for the future (children, in-laws, work-life) 

Whether they are newly married or thinking of getting married, couples will benefit from the interactive style of learning, practical tips offered, and deep discussions about topics that are not usually raised in conversations before marriage.

Share this with a couple who could benefit from the workshop!
