Reasons for marrying

Marriage is a lifelong commitment comprising of many transitions. Obviously, lifelong learning continues well after the marriage ceremony, but our "Let's Make It Work" program aims to raise awareness of relationship strengths and encourages couples to discuss some of the critical and practical issues surrounding the marriage commitment. Assisting couples in the development of sound communication skills is at the heart of connecting.
