August 16^th - Jonathan and JamiLee – Rockville Centre, NY “I appreciated that we had help from our instructors”

Him: I was not sure what to expect from this class but I was pleasantly surprised. It covered all the topics that most couples probably do not talk about in private and it really made us open us to one another to discuss things that may be difficult to discuss. We learned a lot more about one another on a much deeper level.
Her: This course was very detailed and informative. The fact that we had another couple working along the side of us really made it that much better because when I thought I had a good understanding of what we just read and spoke about, they were able to add even more insight on the topics to really break it down for us to understand better.
Both:The course reminded us how important it is to keep God in your heart and in our home. He will never fail us and will always be there to guide you along in life. It reminded us that we aren't alone through this journey of life.
