Portage 1st will be offering a 4-week small group study centered around Mark Gungor’s “Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage.” This 4-week study is designed for:
- Married couples
- Struggling couples
- Engaged couples
- Singles seeking a spouse for life
Each week of the course contains a DVD presentation and small group discussion with others in the course centered on 4 different topics. Here is a brief summary of each week’s course content:
Session #1: “A Tale of Two Brains”
With much humor and laughter, Mark Gungor explores the differences between men and women. In this session, we learn how relational problems may result from how men and women THINK about life in a different way. We learn how many of the struggles couples face in marriage are the result of a HEAD problem, not a HEART problem.
Session #2: “Why Does He/She Do That?”
Teaches couples how to discover the true reasons why their spouse does what he or she does. In addition to being a great stress reducer, attendees are introduced to an amazing tool called the Flag Page. By focusing on motivation and each person’s best qualities, the Flag Page teaches couple a new way to discover what makes their spouse tick.
Session #3: “The #1 Key To Incredible Sex.”
When participants are asked for feedback they usually rate this session as their favorite... and who wouldn't? One of the biggest problems in marriage today has to do with sex. As a society we are bombarded with sexual messages everyday and are supposedly the most highly sexually educated generation in history. So why are married couples having less sex than ever before? In a riveting and compelling style, Mark Gungor shows how the sexual messages of our culture are fundamentally flawed at best and destructive at worst. Participants will learn five steps couples can take to achieve a healthy, fantastic sex life ending with “The #1 Key to Incredible Sex.”
Session #4: “How to Stay Married and NOT Kill Anybody”
In this final session, participant study the subject of forgiveness and learn how to avoid building resentment in marriage…not to mention sharing with couples the key to staying married for a lifetime.
