Marriage thrives when couples feel heard, understood, and emotionally safe. This two-hour workshop is designed to help couples grow in those areas by learning and practicing the core skills of active listening.

Led by Christian counselors Mark and Kathy McCarthy, this interactive experience focuses on three essential listening tools: curiosity, paraphrasing, and empathy. Couples will learn how these skills reduce conflict, prevent misunderstandings, and foster deeper emotional and spiritual connection.

The workshop includes:

• Short teaching segments grounded in Scripture

• Guided couple exercises

• Table and group discussion

• Practical tools couples can immediately apply at home

This event is ideal for marriages at any stage—whether you’re feeling strong, stuck, or simply want to be more intentional in how you connect with your spouse.
