The Power of Two: Secrets to a Strong and Loving Marriage

Power of Two Workshops teach skills
that keep dreams of living happily ever after a reality.

WHY ENROLL in a Power of Two Workshop?
Psychological research has established that no matter how compatible two people may be, sustaining a warm and cooperative marriage partnership requires high-level skills. Choosing what movie to see, dividing household chores, allocating money, managing children and relatives--differences are inevitable. Why fight--or give up to keep the peace--if you can learn to comfortably talk over issues and consistently resolve differences with outcomes that please you both?

Workshops for:

Engaged couples
Newly marrieds
Couples with children
Retiring and older couples
Singles seeking marriage readiness
Couples facing marriage challenges
Couples wanting first-rate marriage skills
Couples aiming for a long-lasting and joyful marriage

Also, a perfect gift for--

• Engagements
• Weddings
• Anniversaries

A strong marriage is one of life's most valuable blessings
