I DO! (Continued)
Session 1: Love Languages 8:30 – 9:15 a.m.
In love and marriage we all speak our own love language. Do you know yours? What love language resonates most with your spouse? How can you be “one” if you speak different languages?
I DID!
Session 2: Who Am I? Who Are You? 9:15 – 10:30 a.m.
Once you’ve said “I do”, you may have started to wonder “who am I?” How do you stay true to yourself in your union? Rediscover your identity as you’ve transitioned from individual to husband/wife, mother/father.

Fighting Fair – is that a thing? Are you arguing…or discussing? What’s hitting below the belt? Can you really go to bed angry?
BREAK: 3:30 – 3:45 p.m.
I WILL!
Session 6: Boundaries In Marriage 3:30 – 4:45 p.m.
