Friends Couple Enrichment focuses on affirming relationships through better communication. It was developed by marriage counselors as a way to keep relationships healthy. It is neither therapy nor counseling, it is preventive medicine for relationships.

Learn and practice skills for deep listening and respectful communication. Deepen your understanding and appreciation for each other. Learn to use conflict creatively.
