Overview
A leader is only as strong as the relationships surrounding him or her. For most leaders, the most important relationship in their life is their marriage.
DAI’s Growing Marriage Workshops exist to grow and strengthen the marriage relationships of leaders. Developed by Marriage & Family therapists and DAI Staff Tertia and Hani Morcos (bio below), this six-part course incorporates professional foundations with over a decade of experience. Designed specifically for Majority World Christian leaders, it provides a framework for couples to grow into a deeper level of intimacy, connection and relational integrity.
Goals
To grow and strengthen leaders’ marriages.
The goal of Growing Marriage Workshops is to strengthen and deepen leaders’ marriages and families in order to positively impact their churches, communities and nations. Growing Marriage seeks to multiply this positive impact by equipping leading couples to replicate this training within their spheres of influence.
Our Approach
Growing Marriage courses are designed around an adult learning model,
which is highly interactive with discussion, case studies and individual, group and couple exercises and homework. The workshops are limited to 15 couples per event to maximize discussion and community building. The workshop is optimally presented across 8-10 weeks with 2-3-hour weekly meetings, but it is also available in an intensive weekend format.
Workshop Formats:
- Intensive workshops: One or two courses are offered over a period of 2 to 4 days. Couples are invited to return later to complete further courses.
- Weekly workshops: Couples meet for 2 to 3 hours weekly for between 8 and 10 weeks.
