Sunday, February 2nd, 2014
2:00 PM to 5:30 PM

This workshop will help new parents and parents-to-be focus on themselves as a couple and as partners. It will examine how having a child (or children) changes a relationship and how partners can stay connected � and loving � through the experience of having a baby.

The course will focus on normal developmental processes in new families. It will teach practical communication skills and lead parents through exercises to strengthen their bonds as a couple. A central theme will be identifying values both partners want for their family and how they can create a solid, happy and united family.
