Before I Say

Building stronger relationships

How prepared is your relationship toolbox?


Before you walk down the aisle and say “I do”, how prepared is your marriage toolbox? How is your communication? How well are you dealing with conflict resolution? When the dating phase is gone, do you want some tips on how to keep the love alive?

Before I Say “I Do”

Before I Say “I Do”

How is your relationship toolbox? Are you feeling your relationship is getting serious, but do not know if you are ready to take next steps? Maybe you are further along in your relationship and are engaged, do you feel like you are ready to say ‘I do’ to each other? If you are dating, or engaged and are looking to take a step further in preparing for that next step, this is what the before I say seminars are all about!

Before I Get Serious

Before I Get Serious

Are you and your partner in talks about marriage, but haven’t popped the question yet? Maybe you haven’t talked about marriage yet, but are wondering if you are compatible with each other. How confident are you in saying “yes” if a marriage proposal were to happen? Our desire is to give tools to couples to allow them to assess if they are ready to commit to each other. Each night is designed like a date night where couples will discuss a new topic to help understand each other better. Couples will have moments where they can discuss the topic between themselves over coffee, snacks, and dessert (you can say “yes” to dessert too!).
