Monthly Gatherings for
Marriage Enrichment

          Bread of Life has offered married couples the opportunity to participate in relationship enrichment groups.  Marriage Enrichment Groups (MEGS) are educational experiences and not marital therapy.  Small groups of five to seven couples meet together once a month (October through May) for two hours to intentionally work on their relationships.

          Participating couples decide by consensus the areas of their relationship that the group meetings will address, learn about and use couple dialogue in a safe and supportive group, develop their own couple action (or growth) plan to improve that particular facet of their relationship, and develop deeper friendships with other couples who are equally committed to their own marriage relationships.

          There is usually an organizational meeting for these groups.  In the meeting, the Yarbroughs usually further explain about MEGS, answer questions, determine the 9 topics to be discussed in the meetings, and give couples an opportunity to sign up for a group.  After the regular meetings, couples are invited to go out to eat at a local Shawnee restaurant.  There is no childcare available for these meetings.

          Michael and Suanne are trained and certified leaders (and trainers of leaders) of marriage enrichment through the Association of Couples in Marriage Enrichment (ACME).  If we have enough interest for more than one group, Michael and Suanne will facilitate both of them.
