“I use the word marriage to signify a sexually bonded intimate attachment relationship in which the partners have made a public, lifelong commitment to one another, regardless of the gender of the partners. I believe that marriage is the strongest foundation for families and as such supporting healthy relationships supports families and children. I believe in marriage as a community, spiritual and government partnership which is a basic human right. My classes and newsletter are appropriate for all couples in committed, life-long relationships.” Maureen Campion
Here is what a recent participant had to say about Amazing Marriage 101. “Just wanted to write to tell you how amazing Tuesday’s class was! We have been seeing a marriage counselor off and on for almost 3 years, and we feel like we learned more in your 90 minute session than all those other therapy sessions combined. I think you’re absolutely right that there’s something to be gained through a marriage class as opposed to couples counseling, because it was really enlightening to see that our issues were so universal and not unique to us at all. It was great just being in the same room as other couples who are having the same struggles.” Monica
