• "To have better communication and reduce the stress between us"
• "The flyer looked interesting and we like to try new things."

What they said after they took the classes:

• "I have been really bad at communication, but by taking this class we are talking more and more each day and I am so much better at communicating my needs and understanding hers."
• "Since we have started taking this class we are spending more time together and making more of an effort."
• "This class is awesome...can we take it again?"
• "My husband and I have started having a date night each week and are spending more time talking to each other and listening."
