  • MAD About Marriage Seminar

    Announced by Sheri Darrough on Sep 19 2011

    What about your marriage? Are you madly in love -- or just plain mad? Join us for this seminar presented by Mike and Gayle Tucker, co-hosts of Lifestyle Magazine. During the seminar, Mike and Gayle examine some of the issues that can derail marriages. They draw on current research and the expertise of a variety of scholars, authors and psychologists to find solutions to the problems.

    There are some "big" issues that have a very destructive effect on marriage. Some of these issues are easily identified, but some of the most destructive may be present in marriages without couples recognizing their existence. Couples struggle along, trying unsuccessfully to create a positive relationship, not realizing why their efforts at marital bliss seem thwarted. It's important for the success of the marriage to identify and deal with negative issues.  

    The Ceres Seventh-day Adventist Church will be hosting the Mad About Marriage seminar May 4-5, 2012. For more information, and to register for the seminar, go to www.madaboutmarriage.com.
