Growth for Marriage / Marriage Preparation Workshops

The Growth For Marriage program of LSS seeks to strengthen families by strengthening the covenant of marriage from the beginning. This day-long workshop is specifically designed for pre-marital couples that plan to be married in the next year or so. The content is designed to be interactive and fun while allowing couples to examine their own, and their partners', beliefs and attitudes that will impact their marriage.

Topics Explored:

Roles and Expectations of Marriage

Finances

Love and Intimacy

Communication Styles

Conflict Management

Spirituality in Marriage

Children and Family Decisions

Growth For Marriage workshops are typically scheduled on Saturdays once per month and may take place at a local church or other conference facility. A meal and snacks are provided during the day. Click here for 2009 Workshops or here for 2010 Workshops (Marriage Preparation Workshop for Mankato and South Central Minnesota) and (Growth for Marriage for Duluth and Northern Minnesota).

As a result of Minnesota State Statute 517.08 Application for license, your Marriage License Fee may be reduced if you receive pre-marital education. This workshop is intended to supplement the preparation you do with your pastor and can often quality you for a marriage license fee discount. 

For more information, or to schedule your participation, call your local Lutheran Social Service office or email us at Marriage.Prep@lssmn.org.(for south central Minnesota) and GFM@lssmn.org (for Duluth and Northern Minnesota areas).
