The Marriage Enrichment Workshop encompasses 22 hours of focused attention on your marriage relationship through five sessions of 4 hours each. After hearing each principle explained, workshop participants immediately practice what has been taught by means of exercises which help them make the teachings their own.
Our Core Philosophy
Personal Growth Focus
Strengthening the marriage relationship of each couple is the goal of everything that takes place. Each couple is responsible for their own growth.
Safe Environment
There is no confrontation, analysis, or counseling, but only mutual support. At all times, confidentiality is protected.
Voluntary Participation
All participation is voluntary. However, the more that one enters into the workshop process, the more that one will experience new life.
Meet Your Facilitators
Gabriel & Gloria Francis
Each workshop is led by a couple - Dr. and Mrs. Francis - who are trained instructors in the Marriage Enrichment process. Nevertheless, the facilitating couple do not consider themselves to be 'experts', but rather, they consider each workshop as a new opportunity to continue to grow in their personal life, in their marital relationship, and in love for one another.
This humble approach creates an atmosphere of shared learning where everyone grows together, including your facilitators.

A Different Approach to Change
"Once in a while someone comes to the workshop praying with sincere love that his or her spouse might change so that their marriage will be happier. It is possible that the spouse needs to change. Don't we all need to grow? But there is another attitude that is taught and practiced in the workshop."
Our Core Principle:
Our Core Principle: Before God, I will not try to change my spouse, but myself.
