The Seasons of Marriage
Begins March 2012 - November 2012

Prepare Premarital Class
This class is designed to teach couples to Prepare For Marriage while they plan their weddings. We use an educational approach to helping couples evaluate their relationship for strength and growth areas, evaluate realistic expectations, explore important topics related to marriage, and to begin to develop communication and conflict resolution skills. Each couple will take a self-report inventory that will be electronically scored and used as a template for discussion. Our inventory is highly predictive of marital success or failure. Individual premarital counseling available.
Boot Camp For Couples
This class is for couples at any stage of relationship. Boot Camp is valuable for healthy relationships as a refresher course in communication and conflict resolution or for relationships experiencing difficulty. Each couple will learn how to spot and stop destructive patterns of relating, start communicating effectively, become a solver of conflict with “win – win” techniques and increase their ability to become emotionally available to their partners.
Parenting Through the Stages
TrueNorth will inform and instruct parents of Toddlers through Teens on the significant developmental issues specific to the age group being discussed. We will offer relevant information while you have fun learning. Learn how to decide, “whose problem is this?” while parenting your pre-school children or how to create and maintain healthy boundaries with your teenager. Learn effective discipline techniques that are appropriate for your individual child. Parenting is tough enough, even tougher in today’s culture.

Embrace the new challenges and joys this season of marriage can bring.
Making Peace With Your Past
Free yourself from old patterns that may hinder your ability to have a healthy marital relationship. A Christ-centered therapy group for singles (18 to early 30) considering marriage.
Boundaries in Marriage
All marital couples have conflicts or disagreements at times. The difference between a happily married couple and an unhappy married couple frequently involves the ability to discuss and resolve their differences in a positive manner that respects the interests and needs of each other.
Truth is, marriages fail due to lack in communication skills and lack of healthy boundary making. Common unhealthy, damaging relationship communications usually include such interactions as:
- Hostility, or verbal or physical attacks on the other person
- Put-downs, name calling or other contempt for the partner
- Dragging old information or experiences into a current argument
- Withdrawal form a disagreement
Escalating negativity in the relationship
Couples attending this seminar will experience change from the inside out. Because the Bible is packed with everlasting truths, couples will not only come away with knowing themselves and their spouse better, they will also experience God in ways perhaps much different than before.
