Love, Romance, and Marriage
Preparing Yourself for Your Future Marriage & Becoming Your Best Self for Marriage
International students and scholars (and their spouses) are invited to join a five-week class about relationship. No matter whether you are single, in a relationship, or married, this class will benefit you. This five-week class will cover topics about love, romance, and marriage that include Christian perspectives and principles with the Bible as a reference point.
We hope that this class will help you prepare for your future marriage and help you be a better person for your future spouse (if you are single) or for your marriage (if you are married). You will have a chance to ask questions, discuss, as we have fun along the way. This class is not formal, and there is no homework. Yet, this will be a time to learn, have fun, and meet nice people. When: Tuesday nights, 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm, March 7 -- April 4. You can attend any meetings that you are available. Simple dinner will be provided, so you can eat and listen at the same time :) Where: International House on 2810 N. Calvert St. Speaker: Greg Hard and Jacob Jasin |
