framework of a listening and loving atmosphere.
FOCCUS IS a research-based premarital INVENTORY of 156 basic
questions on marriage and of 33 additional specialized
questions on interfaith, remarriage, and cohabitation. This

A refresher for couples who have previously participated in
the FOCCUS inventory program.
REFOCCUS explores how the relationship has grown and helps
pinpoint areas where further work is necessary. It is ideal
for couples who have been married for 5 years or more.
REFOCCUS is written to affirm and promote growth in strong
marriages; it is written to give direction and help to the
ordinary couple struggling with the daily questions of
marriage.
REFOCCUS will surface through sharing, listening,
discussion, and problem-solving:
·
What individual and couple strengths and weaknesses are in
the topic area;
·
What growth has occurred over years in the areas being
“refocused”;
·
What feelings and thoughts both husband and wife have about
the area today;
·
What problem-solving is needed in the area;
What growth, change or
development each one and the couple together, are ready
to do.
 How
to Avoid Marrying a Jerk(ette),
Single or Single Again.
Have you ever heard the phrase “Love is blind”?
Well, it doesn’t have to be! Your mind needs to know what
to look for in order to shape an accurate profile of the
person you are dating. And your heart needs to know how to
keep proper balances between the bonding forces which form
the attachment in your growing relationship.
By following the successful and scientifically based program on "How
to Avoid Marrying a Jerk or Jerkette"
you can give love 20/20 vision and see your partner for who
that person really is.
Healthy
relationships are in fact built on love, trust, commitment,
intimacy and attachment.
How to Avoid Marrying a Jerk(ette)
is being taught in seven
countries and 45 states by hundreds of churches, single
organizations, educational settings and agencies.
