    Hi Everyone,

    We're all settled into Nashville, but will be returning next week for a series of 5 different workshops, all on different topics. Please plan to join us and bring a few friends--the more the merrier.

    Even if you can't make it to all the Workshops, please invite others to join us. We'll have a great time together and learn dozens of new tools.

    10 Steps to Get the Marriage You Want
    Calm Couples Marriage Workshop
    Friday, June 5, 2009 from 7:00pm-9:00pm
    St. Mary of Sorrows Catholic Church /5222 Sideburn Rd / Fairfax, VA 22032

    This is not the marriage you imagined when you fell in love. You find yourself resenting the person you chose to spend the rest of your life with. Some couples suffer in silent withdrawal while others resort to yelling and painful words. Either way, the pain can be devastating.

    Some couples just need a marriage tune-up. Things are good, but there is always room for improvement.

    Good people struggle with marriage and often become disillusioned because their expectations are so far from reality. That's because we don't truly understand the purpose of marriage.

    Do you know the 5 lies that sabotage your relationships? We promise you are not that far away from a great marriage-you just need a new roadmap. We guarantee you will see your spouse and marriage in an entirely different light. This is powerful.

    The good news is that no matter how far apart you have grown, there is a simple roadmap for enjoying the relationship you want. Join the thousands of couples who have restored their marriages and established a firm foundation based on mutual respect.


    • Discover the true purpose of marriage with a clear road map.
    • Enjoy your spouse again and look forward to the future.
    • Overcome the 5 traps that sabotage relationships.
    • Eliminate resentment and rebuild trust.

    Kirk provides 10 specific ways to use the tremendous power you have as a Dad to foster respectful children, enjoy the relationship you've always wanted with your kids and be the Dad you want to be. There is no greater gift a man can give his wife than being a calm rock of stability in the home.

    • Enjoy the relationship you've always wanted with your kids.
    • Realize you are irreplaceable and powerful.
    • Foster respectful, responsible children.
