The Facilitator's Guide is intended to support a parish program of marriage enrichment with groups of couples. It provides a Facilitator with step-by-step instructions for setting up and conducting a parish marriage enrichment program. The Guide offers a variety of options, discusses the logistics of conducting the group sessions, presents timed outlines for each session, gives detailed instructions for introducing couples exercises and has copies of the exercises for couples that are found in the Participant's Booklets. The elements needed to offer a parish program include: a Facilitator's Guide, a set of DVD's with the Video Presentations and a Participant's Booklet for each participant.
About the series This marriage enrichment series combines a Catholic theology of marriage with the findings from scientific research to offer married couples both inspiration and practical help. The inspiration comes from the riches of the Catholic faith that gives meaning to marriage as a Vocation, a Covenant and a Sacrament. The practical help comes from over 40 years of research by the Gottman Institute that identifies the factors that predict divorce as well as the factors the predict success in marriage. Faith and science are woven together in this series through the use of video presentations, couples exercises and prayer, to help couples achieve a more meaningful, stable and satisfying relationship.
