Nick and Kep Howk have developed a short 6-week program to enhance and strengthen the marital bond. The focus of the program is to help couples nurture their relationship in the midst of living in a hectic society. They have designed the program in a way that each unit (week) can stand alone allowing for a week to be missed without feeling behind. The workshop is an open workshop, which means that all are welcomed without signing up for it. The workshop centers on Christ's love and forgiveness coming alive in the relationship as everyday issues are addressed. This is not just a didactic program but it includes experiences to help the couple relate in godly ways to each other and the family.
If your church would be interested in this short marital program, call us at 562-431-1799 and leave a message for either Nick or Dyan. There is no cost for this workshop. Please check the following schedule for further detail. |
