Couples' Group

|
Our Couples' Groups are open to all couples, at any stage in their relationship (dating, engaged, or married), who desire the support of a community as they seek to improve their communication skills and deepen their understanding of their partner and their relationship.
Using the PREPARE/ENRICH group program as a guide, a couples' group meets for 5-10 sessions over the course of one year. Prior to the first session, each couple will complete a PREPARE/ENRICH relationship inventory online. The results of your inventory will provide valuable information for you as a couple, and help you shape and personalize your focus in each subsequent session. In order to support the cohesion of your group, as well as your own learning, couples are strongly encouraged to attend each of the group sessions.
We request that each couple make a donation (sliding scale, $25-$250) prior to the start of the program, to help offset the cost of program materials, administration, and childcare. Make checks payable to St. Gregory of Nyssa Episcopal Church. Contact Sylvia for more information.
