What: We are excited to offer a monthly gathering for married couples seeking to strengthen and enrich their relationship through meaningful discussion and practical tools. This gathering offers an interactive and insightful experience designed to help couples understand the foundational principles of a thriving marriage.

Each month, we’ll dive into a different aspect of marriage using the Art of Marriage materials, with opportunities for:

• Thought-provoking discussions
• Fun, interactive activities
• Support from other couples
• Practical insights to apply at home

Whether you're newly married or have been together for years, this monthly gathering provides a space to connect, learn, and grow together. Couples will leave each session feeling encouraged, equipped, and more deeply connected with each other.

Don't miss this chance to invest in your marriage and build a stronger, more fulfilling relationship. Bring your spouse, invite friends, and be part of a community that values marriage as an art worth perfecting.
