CLASS 1 

 

10:00 AM: “Still I Do:  Communicating the Promise We Made”

 

Description:  Marriage begins with a vow, but everyday conversations sustain it. This session invites couples to reconnect with the why behind their “I do,” explore how we’re wired differently, and learn practical ways to communicate as teammates rather than opponents. We’ll also touch on neurodiversity and how empathy, patience, and curiosity can deepen connection.
