A New Beginning
– by The Marriage Dynamics Institute – in Nashville, Tennessee
A New Beginning is a three-day intensive workshop for troubled marriages. More than just teaching information, the workshop focuses on developing life skills and alternative behaviors that empower couples with new ways of communicating, interacting and understanding themselves, their spouse and their marriage. 3 out of 4 couples who attend save their marriage! This uniquely interactive learning experience is so effective that many counselors refer their own clients to “jumpstart” counseling sessions. Led by specially trained and experienced marriage counselors, this workshop has helped thousands of couples to learn new and different ways to communicate along with life skills that are essential for having a strong, healthy relationship. A New Beginning is different than therapy or counseling. It is an educational experience unlike anything else. In an environment of respect and confidentiality, couples go on a journey that tackles head-on the brokenness of their marriage to arrive at a place where they can make sound decisions for their future. For three days, they are challenged to look at life and love from a different perspective.

Private Marriage Intensives
– by Live the Life - in Jacksonville, FL, Tallahassee, FL and Fort Lauderdale, FL
A Live the Life Marriage Intensive pairs a trained pastoral counselor or relationship coach with one couple for two or three full days of exploration, education, and skills development. As a couple learns new tools for communication, intimacy building, and conflict resolution those skills are put into immediate use to build the lasting marriage both desire.
This Skills-based approach recognizes that there are basic emotional and relational needs common to all human beings. Relationships can be torn apart by past hurts and brokenness as well as by unmet emotional needs in the present. Using the best tools of psychological and behavioral research, Live the Life’s Marriage Intensive Pastoral Counselors help clients identify past hurts, unmet emotional needs, and self-defeating behavioral patterns which may be hindering personal growth and relational health. The goal of Skills Based Counseling is to assist couples in discovering new ways of thinking and behaving that will help them develop a healthy and satisfying marriage.
