Would you like to learn how to break through the barriers to meaningful communication with your spouse? Join the Columbia Church of Christ’s online or in-person workshop<\/a> on March 9 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (CST) to explore and enhance how you communicate with your spouse, all rooted in the timeless wisdom of the Bible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We aim to help couples understand their communication cycles and provide practical tools to navigate through them. You can expect engaging and principle-based teachings with scriptures seamlessly intertwined to lay a strong foundation for a stronger connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’d like to empower every couple to recognize when they’re in a reactive cycle, encourage a moment of pause, and internal reflection, and ultimately, share their hearts with their spouse for the best chance at being truly heard. We’ll also explore the sensitive topic of overcoming sexual barriers from a biblical perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lunch and childcare will be provided for the in-person event. Registration<\/a> is $200 per couple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Melissa and her husband lead the Columbia Church of Christ in Columbia, Missouri. She is an Advanced Practice Clinician, with over 5,000 hours of clinical experience. She specializes in marriage counseling, affair recovery counseling, sexual addiction counselling, and sex therapy. Learn more here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
