Transforming Conflict Into Intimacy

 I've been married for almost 24 years now, and I've learned a few things.  Marriage takes work and intentionality.  Maybe you didn't realize when you stood up and pledged your love to each other before God and witnesses exactly what you were signing up for, but you did it.  You said words like "for better or worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, as long as we both shall live."  Maybe now you are realizing that what you signed up for is much harder than the fun romantic notion you had when you got married.  Maybe you think you married the wrong person.  Probably not.  

The reality is that marriage is a struggle.  Put two selfish people together (we all are to some degree) and try to get them to live as one.  It's the most beautiful thing in the world when it works and it can be the most painful thing in the world when it doesn't.  But it can be done.  It is a profound opportunity for creating the closest thing to heaven on earth.  You just need to learn to transform conflict into intimacy.

The "US" marriage workshop is an opportunity to learn to do that.  Traci and I attended this workshop last February and had the most intimate conversations we've ever had (which led to some of the best sex ever too by the way).  We have a good marriage and have learned and practiced many of the principles taught by Dan and Aileen Toccini in this workshop for many years.  We realized just how powerfully these principles have shaped our lives over the last 18 years since we first learned them.  I can literally say that what you will learn in this weekend will transform your marriage and your family.

Whether you are still in the honeymoon phase or on the verge of divorce, this workshop will give you the tools and set the stage for an intimacy you may not have even considered possible.  I invite you to join Traci and I as we host this workshop with Dan and Aileen Toccini in Dana Point February 3-5th.  It is the best investment you can make in your marriage.  For more information or to register, click HERE.  You will be glad you did!
