Lately, I’ve been contacted by several couples asking me if I offer marriage seminars or in-person marriage improvement sessions. While the short answer is that I don’t, I’d like to give you my recommendations as to where you could go for an informative, yet entertaining weekend marriage seminar.
Not all weekend marriage seminars are fit for all types of couples. Most are designed to appeal to women, not to men, even though the majority are put on by men. Husbands just come along and endure the seminar and make their wife happy. I highly encourage couples to go to a weekend marriage event if they have another couple they know where both the wife AND husband have highly endorsed it. Marriage Encounter, for example, is a serious weekend event that causes couples to really think, analyze their relationship history and communicate. It’s been around for many years and you have to find one scheduled near you in order to attend.
Typically, men have no intention of getting “stuck” in some marriage seminar for two days. That’s the reason I highly endorse Mark Gungor’s Laugh Your Way To A Better Marriage weekend event. I’ve personally been to several of these events and I’ve watched men react. Most men laugh non-stop and make this comment, “If I’d of known it was this good, I’d have done this a lot sooner.” Mark Gungor presents his hysterically funny way to teach couples how to be happily married, all around the country. You can find his appearance schedule at www.laughyourway.com So you can get a sample of what to expect from Mark Gungor, here’s a clip from one of his events on the difference between “Men and Women’s Brains”…
Mark Gungor is a good friend of mine and one of the most sought after speakers on marriage and family in the country. He teaches thousands of couples each year. Mark’s down to earth, practical approach teaches biblical principles for marriage, but adds humor by the truck load. Couples who leave the two day event are amazed at how laughing drives home the learning and takes the threat out of what had become a hostile relationship.
