Her: I appreciated the guidance through difficult topics or conversations. I also greatly appreciated the amount of feedback we received with each lesson. It is very obvious that our instructors spent a lot of time and effort working with us. What I appreciated most was the ability to be honest and raw in this course without shame or judgement.

Both: This course helped us navigate difficult topics to discuss. This course prompted these conversations by asking us the difficult questions. This allowed us to work through these topics together.

My interest in religion grew a lot throughout and my want to strengthen my relationship with God grew as well.

The instructors were warm and kind with us providing very good and helpful feedback and content. I feel blessed to have taken the course.

Her: I loved the course. It was very resourceful for us, even with 17 years of civil marriage and now receiving our Convalidation, it added to the marriage some beautiful and valuable resources that we are going to use to improve as much as we can our marriage, with Christ in the driver seat. It was a bless to have the opportunity to take this course.
