Previously called How to Avoid Falling in Love with a Jerk(ette), this course and its author (Dr. John Van Epp) have been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Time Magazine, Psychology Today, O Magazine, and Cosmopolitan...just sayin'. But does this program work?
P.I.C.K. a Partner Five-Week Class (approximately 2 hours per class = 10 hours total): Must be 18 to register. Nonrefundable payment must be made in full at time of registration.
For Committed & Married Couples
Keeping your love strong requires ongoing communication and thoughtful consideration of your relationship. At the heart of every vibrant relationship is a strong attachment. A couple who still feels “in love” after years together is unsinkable in the waves of life. In the L.I.N.K.S. Program (Lasting Intimacy through Nurturing Knowledge & Skills), you will gain skills for communication, conflict resolution, forgiveness and rebuilding trust, identifying and satisfying personal needs, constructing a marriage story, and growing sexually.
Couple L.I.N.K.S. Five-Week Class (approximately 2 hours per class = 10 hours total): Couples are highly encouraged to attend this workshop together. Nonrefundable payment must be made in full at time of registration.
