The truthfulness of the class was great! Love the lectures on the vasopressin and oxytocin and how that can impact intimacy. I have learned that taking care of my wife first will ultimately in turn, take care of me. Loved the class! Thank you!

I loved how “Real” and honest the class was. What I got most out of the class, was that our marriage commitment is not an “Every-once-in-awhile-time” thing – But a DAILY choice to love and respect your spouse. The Mission Statement was awesome in setting your life’s goals and statements to strive for every day. Thank you!

This class made us Talk about things that we thought we already knew about our marriage. Thank you for taking your time to share with us!

It made us be intentional about spending time working on our marriage. We now have a statement to find common ground in our marriage.
