Why You Need Marriage Matters

One of our greatest challenges as a nation and culture is preserving the integrity and unity of the home. Many couples have good intentions but lack the skills and determination necessary to keep a family intact. Using God-centeredness as the foundation, the conference presentations provide information for maintaining good marriages and explain in a very down-to-earth manner the origins of many marital problems and the solutions to counter them.  

Conference Goals

Jerry & Lynn will help you:

¨      Understand and address the core issues in personalities and relationships 

¨      Learn the skills necessary for communication and conflict resolution 

¨      Recognize and target the origins of depression

¨      Resolve anger 

¨      Develop insights in how to really love and forgive yourself and others
 

Each session provides useful insights and practical information for any individual or couple who wants to learn more about themselves and/or their relationships. Marriage Matters is for everyone!
