We hosted a one-day training in communication and listening skills that have greatly blessed us in our marriage and other relationships. We use them to do our pre-marriage counseling: we teach these skills to the couple and then facilitate their active listening on all the key topics.  We introduce these skills in our “Better than Wine: Building and Rebuilding Intimacy” Marriage conference.  Last weekend, we were hosted by our friends at Anglican Church of the Redeemer, Franklin, MA (thank you Rev. Dan and Lisa Sylvia!)  We dove in with a pilot group of couples.  It is our hope to bring this workshop and/or the entire marriage conference to you one day!
