Marriage Encounter
Marriage Encounter, is a weekend away from home, family and responsibilities
where in a comfortable, secluded environment a couple is guided in the discovery
of new techniques of communicating and sharing with one another. It is not
a retreat, but it is a program designed to give couples the opportunity to
examine their lives together, their weaknesses and strong points, their attitudes
toward each other and toward their families. Couples are given the opportunity
to look at themselves, privately with their partner in an honest, face-to-face,
heart-to-heart encounter.
Engaged Encounter, is a weekend experience designed to help couples
prepare personally and as a couple for marriage. The focus is on the marriage,
not on the wedding. "A wedding is a day ... a marriage is a lifetime." Couples
are shown communication and decision-making techniques they can use throughout
their lifetime together. Engaged Encounter is specifically designed for quiet
reflection and discussion by each couple. It is a positive, simple, common-sense
experience between two people who are either seriously considering engagement,
engaged or recently married. At no time will the couple be asked to share
their private experiences with the group.
Killers
& Boosters for Child Custody Cases (800) 646-5590
(Attitude Adjustment for Child Custody Case Litigants)
Advice is usually given by people without the real information
or life experience, with the right intention at the wrong time. With this
book you can take advice when you want it and ready to hear it. You can
act on what you have learned, mull it over or discard the advice altogether
without interference. This book will not allow you to give the opposition power you might imagine but that they do not really have or let you allow
others to diminish the importance you play in your children's lives. Divorce
is never easy this will help. This book has been called 'Chicken Soup' for
the Child Custody Case. It will help a lot and it certainly can't hurt.
This book is 5 1/2" X 9" and has more than 1,700 entries.
