Marriage
Marriage preparation has long been a format at New Life Institute to assist those preparing for that endeavor. The most frequent manner is using the well developed and well known program, Engage/Prepare, based in Minneapolis. The couple spends half an hour privately answering a questionnaire which is then sent to Minneapolis for factoring. The results become the basis for at least an hour of discussion, focusing on the differences in the answers.
Sometimes more time is needed to cover the issues that are raised. Also, sometimes, in the spring, there is enough interest to form a group, to meet for a full day, which enhances the process. Cost is $120 (including one hour feedback, additional time is $75/hr). Group costs are the same, $120 for one day. Contact the office for information.
Leader is Rev. Bob Breihan, LMFT, United Methodist clergy professionally trained as a family/marriage therapist, with many years experience.
Marriage Counseling is done, at New Life Institute, by all staff members and primarily by Bob Breihan.
Marriage Planning and Officiating can be done by Rev. Bob Breihan or by Rev. Sarah Bentley. Both are experienced clergy.
