It was the most helpful
literature I have seen! What a wonderful way to facilitate conversation with my
now husband. We enjoyed the educational material and then seriously
participated in the PLM activities. Because we knew that we were the only
people who could make our relationship better, we wanted to take this
seriously. We learned a variety of things and most importantly were able to
communicate about them in a caring way.

Being a romantic, I just thought that love alone
would make my marriage great. After this program my eyes have been opened
and I know how to make a marriage functional and also fun. . . . This program helped me to see marriage for what it truly is. Now I
understand all of the many things that go into making a marriage last. . . .
The most important thing I learned was how to make marriage divorce
proof. Stacy |
This
program has been a terrific lead-in to
our upcoming marriage, because it has offered so much advice and practical
application to questions we have already been having concerning our future life together.

As I look back over the
program . . . I find
I have learned so much more about how a marriage is actually going to
work. What exactly I learned from communication, intimacy commitment,
and my relationship with God became . . . more clear to me.

There are many things that I would not have
thought of had I not read the modules offered by this program . . . Now I feel
more prepared to set up some structure to my marriage before we begin it. Tony |
I feel that I am better prepared for marriage
because I have taken this program. It has helped my future husband and me
to discuss topics and come to realistic expectations of what marriage will be
like.

The
decision to take this
program was one of the best decisions I have ever
made. My fiancé and I benefited indescribably . . . I
loved doing the activities. They really helped us to discover
what each felt about certain issues.

I really enjoyed this
program. It
brought up issues that we have not even thought about. It also
gave us an opportunity to talk about issues on which we had
differences and to make our feelings known. I feel much more
confident about our marriage as a result of this course.

My
favorite part of the program was the biblical guidance and reference each
topic included. My partner and I talked about the topics including
the biblical standpoints and it helped us to grow in our relationship
[with] each other but also with God. I . . . found the topics
helpful because they are issues that most couples don't talk about prior
to marriage . . .

Though I new that romantic love would not sustain a healthy marriage, I
did not know exactly what would. This
program offered concrete steps to
developing a healthy and lasting marriage, and after taking it I feel
much more confident about beginning a loving and functional
relationship with my husband.

Thank you for the work you have put into this program. My wife and I
have really been able to improve our communication and intimacy through
the modules and activities. I just wanted you to know that I appreciate
the straightforward style of your writing. It is so helpful to hear
honest and blunt statements about what we should be doing and what we
shouldn't be doing. Nathan |
Daniel
and I have really enjoyed the program. Being long distance, we read the
material together on the phone and discussed it as we went (we have free
long distance on our cell phone). The activities challenged us to
re-think our expectations and set goals/guidelines. Instead of just
biding our time waiting to see each other again and waiting for the
wedding, we were able to put some real work into our relationship now.

Having worked through the program, we found
it so beneficial that Kim and I are giving it as a gift to dear friends
(the guy is my best man) as they get married in June.

Just
wanted to say thanks for all the work you've put into this course. Both
my fiancé and I are extremely impressed and didn't think that an online
program could be this beneficial. He is in the Navy and we don't get to
see each other much, so this was better than nothing. Your program is
encouraging, convicting and challenging in all the ways it should be.
Thank you again.

I am not yet engaged, but this program has opened my boyfriend's and my
eyes to a lot of things that we didn’t even realize were problems in our
relationship. I am so thankful for this because we have been able to
discuss these problems a lot and work them out. It has made our
relationship so much better. For this I am truly thankful. Rebekah |
Both my fiancé and I found the program extremely helpful
and beneficial. . . . I would definitely recommend the program and it was
especially convenient for us, with busy schedules, to do it on the
computer and on our own time. Thanks!

[The program] has opened our eyes to things we took for granted, provided
us with the tools for some serious soul- and spiritual-searching and has
been bringing us even closer together as a couple as we prepare for our
marriage.
