Want to avoid these marriage statistics? Then affair-proof and protect your relationship by learning how to meet each others relational needs while learning to stop any cycle of unhealthy behavior.

Does it sometimes seem as though you and your partner are speaking different love languages?

Does life come so quick and hard that the realities of circumstances, personality differences, raising kids (especially teenagers!) and other life pressures evolve into obstacles that keep you from experiencing a fulfilling relationship?

One more question. Is there room for growth, a little more excitement, and deeper intimacy in your relationship?

Whether you are looking to strengthen an already healthy relationship or you need crisis intervention. Help is here!

Listen to testimonies from couples who participated in one of GTHM’s couple’s classes:

The class uses the Bible’s exodus story as its underlying theme. Just as the Israelites were led from bondage in Egypt to a new life in the Promised Land, “The Journey” leads couples from the land of conflict to the land of meeting each other’s relational needs.

This interactive six week class challenges couples to transform every aspect of their relationship. Not simply a crisis intervention, this class is for any married, engaged, or dating couple that wants to enhance their relationship. It will benefit couples that have been together for 40 days or 40 years. It doesn’t matter if you feel totally connected to one another or you’ve realized you’ve grown apart. No matter where you are at, your relationship will benefit from greater understanding and additional “tools.”

We realize how difficult it can be to register for these types of classes so we would like to ease some potential fears by giving you additional information:

• These classes are designed to respect your privacy. In fact, there are no “round table” discussions. Each class begins with a time of classroom-style teaching that is positive and engaging. Afterward, couples share at their own discretion to discuss the homework.

• These classes are designed to help each person SELF-EXAMINE and improve their own personal communication styles. We consistently direct each person to examine their own issues rather than focus on their partner’s issues.

• These classes have been developed with an understanding that it’s sometimes difficult for men to enroll in couple’s classes. There are no “warm fuzzy” exercises! Pastor Rod uses a logical teaching approach and incorporates many of his previous athletic and coaching experiences to explain various concepts.

Whether you and your partner are in a good place simply looking for some relational enrichment or you are in need of some serious intervention, you will find some great ways to increase the intimacy within your romantic relationship.

The class cost is $75 per couple. Couple’s kits include all books and workbooks.
