I feel the analogy used within the course is really helpful in identifying where I am at in my marriage. The clear specifics on the core needs to be met in order to maintain a healthy marriage are a great toolbox for practical steps my spouse and I can take to actively build our marriage and make it flourish.

Comments from couples who attended I Choose Us in the Community
“Forgiveness requires effort from both parties”
“Marriage should be honoured always. Forgiveness is a choice.”
“Forgiveness takes an individual. Reconciliation takes two individuals. I need to practice being a considerate listener and a responsible leader.”
“Intimacy is vital in a marriage. Forgiveness has a deeper meaning and we really need to apply it on our future marriage and understand it clearly.
“Men seek emotional connection too!”
“Forgiveness is not only good for the other party, but for yourself as well. Forgiveness does not equate to forgetting, but it takes away resentment.”
“Forgiveness is a virtue and it only depends on one person. It is not pseudo-forgiving. It is more than achieving neutral feelings, it is giving compassion to him/her.”
