Marriage Preparation Workshop
This workshop is facilitated by Dr. Bruce Porfilio - Psychologist.
Is Pre-marriage Preparation and Education beneficial?
YES! According to marriage research, a good skill based pre-marriage education seminar reduces the likelihood of divorce up to 40 percent and leads to a significantly happier marriage.
Couples need every advantage to succeed in today’s marriages. Marriages face more demands and are more complex than ever before.
Half of all marriages end in divorce and only half of those that endure are happy in the long run. Do everything you can to ensure that your dreams of a great life together are realized.
A satisfying marriage requires couples to learn and demonstrate skills that empower them to maintain mutual affection while resolving issues, upsets, challenges, and conflicts that are an inevitable aspect of every marriage.
Successful marriages require love, commitment, knowledge, effort, and work. Form the intention now to create a resilient and long-term loving marriage from the start.
