December 29, 2006 Marriage Just a Piece of Paper?
Description
Is marriage disappearing? If so, what are the personal and social costs to children, families and communities? Has the "M" word become a subject unfit for polite company, neglected… perhaps shunned… in the halls of government, academia, family-related professions and even in houses of worship?
Narrated by Cokie Roberts and written by marriage and family specialist Barbara Dafoe Whitehead, the documentary is based on dozens of intimate, revealing interviews with adults and children about the complexities of their loves, hopes, disappointments and heartbreaks.

Based on 25 years of research in the field of marital health and success, *PREP* teaches strategies geared toward lowering risk factors for distress and separation as well as strategies for raising protective factors to help marriages succeed. This seminar will help couples learn valuable information such as: * The 4 Relationship “Danger Signs� * Relationship Ground Rules for Handling Conflict * The Speaker-Listener Technique * Effective Behavior Requests vs. Criticisms and Complaints * A Method of Problem Solving * Non-verbal Communication * How to Preserve Fun and Friendship in a “busy� culture PREP (Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program) is one of the most comprehensive and well respected programs for couples in the world. It has been featured on Oprah, 20/20, and 48 Hours, as well as many magazines and professional journals. PREP is a research based, skills-building curriculum designed to help couples communicate more effectively, work as a team to solve problems, manage conflicts without damaging closeness, and preserve and enhance love, commitment, and friendship. This workshop is psycho-educational, not a therapy group. It is appropriate for any couple in a committed relationship. Couples will learn course objectives by traditional lecture, video taped examples of real couples pre and post PREP, and private practice sessions. Couples may or may not choose to participate in discussions in the larger group portions of the program. No one is EVER pressured to share; it is completely up to each individual.

All classes are held at the Pine Rest Campus Clinic, 30068th Street SE, Grand Rapids, MI and space is limited. Fee is $100.00 and is collected in advance, at registration.
