Great, Christ-centered marriages do not happen by chance- intentional effort and growth are an important factor. Since a marriage can only be as strong as the individuals within it, neglecting the personal development of each partner undermines the relationship. Licensed mental health professionals, and ministry leaders will analyze a model that empowers married individuals to become whole, healthy, and aligned with a purpose, setting those clients on a path toward building a fulfilling and thriving marriage. Participants will assess how to help Christian clients integrate faith-based scriptural principles for personal health and wholeness, while balancing individual growth with relationship needs. Participants will identify the common sources of personal and marital disempowerment and how self-care and personal responsibility serve as the foundation for personal and marital empowerment. Additionally, participants will be equipped to use the Focus Marital Therapy self-care tool, the Care Cycle, as an effective intervention in both marital and individual counseling, fostering healthier relationships and personal well-being.
