Gender Issues:

"WHY MEN DON’T GET IT
AND WHY WOMEN ALWAYS NEED MORE SHOES"

This Marriage Maintenance Seminar is for any married couple who wants to keep their marriage healthy and strong.

FORMAT

The Marriage Maintenance Seminar is designed to help men understand women and women to understand men. It will be hilarious, but helpful in understanding and preventing many inevitable conflicts between husbands and wives. The Seminar will introduce couples to scientific research which will answer many questions about gender interchanges between spouses. Each of the gender differences will be illustrated by excerpts from various sitcoms, such as Everybody Loves Raymond, King of Queens and other movie excerpts.

COST

As a demonstration of our commitment to the maintenance of healthy marriages and families, the SC Lutheran Retreat Centers is subsidizing this event. The Registration Fee per couple will be $275 per couple. The cost includes: two nights lodging, the Seminar Leader expenses, materials, refreshments, six delicious country meals and the DJ for the Dance and Karaoke Show.
