What We Offer
TRAINING
​
Over 30 years of combining principles of adult learning with the ancient wisdom of the bible has contributed to the development of dynamic and transformative courses delivered in-person, virtually, and online.
Based on our innovative T.H.R.I.V.E.S. framework, our training programs teach timeless principles that help couples enhance emotional connections, engage in intimate conversation, improve quality time, and deepen friendship.
COACHING
​
Utilizing well-researched and validated assessment tools, in concert with our unique T.H.R.I.V.E.S. framework, we offer virtual group and private coaching packages to couples wanting to take their relationship to the next level.
Aligned with our training concepts, these tools and resources establish a baseline for our clients’ relational health. Accountability to completing the “hard” work and submitting to the “heart” work is our “secret sauce.”
LIVE EVENTS

We conduct a variety of live workshops & luncheons and overnight weekend conferences with groups ranging from 25 to 100 couples. Our events are generally held at offsite venues such as hotels, resorts, and conference centers.
We also offer customized onsite events and speaking engagements to local churches, private businesses, and non-profit organizations. Each event is designed to educate, inspire and encourage couples to find deep fulfillment in their relationship in a fun and entertaining format.
