The Heart of Marriage Seminar

In order for intimacy and deep connection to occur in a marriage, two hearts must be open to each other. On the other hand, the common thread in almost every couple who is seeking help for their marriage is that either one or both people have shut their hearts down. And a closed heart is the "kiss of death" to a marriage! Learn why King Solomon wisely encouraged us to "guard our heart, for it is the wellspring of life." We say it is also the wellspring of a great marriage.

Overview of Sessions

The Heart of Marriage - Our heart is the wellspring of life and relationships. "Guarding our heart" means that we learn how to take great care of our heart and to keep our heart open to God and others.

The Safest Place on Earth - The goal for every couple should be to learn practical steps to create a marriage that feels like the safest place on earth. The Fear Dance - Every person, single or married gets stuck in a very frustrating relationship dance when people push our emotional "buttons". Personal Responsibility - To have a healthy and passionate marriage, people must learn how to take personal responsibility when their emotional buttons get pushed and how to get their heart back open.

Caring for Your Heart - Your ability to feel emotionally safe in relationships depends more on your ability to keep your heart open and full of God's love because you can't give what you don't have.

Caring for your Mate's Heart - Instead of judging how people feel, we have an opportunity to "care" for our mate's heart by using Heart Talk. Heart Talk allows you to listen, understand, validate, and care about each other's hearts—their emotions and feelings.

Relational Responsibility - When we act like teammates, we remember that the only possible outcome in our marriage is that we will either "win" together or we will "lose" together. The key is to find solutions that feel good to both people.

What others say

"My son Greg has been one of my main mentors over the past six years. From his research team he assembled several years ago, he discovered six wonderful truths about restoring marriages and how to keep a good marriage thriving. He presents these truths in a highly organized and humorous fashion so that audiences are enthralled by his style of speaking. I get to the opportunity to hear him speak frequently and every group that invites him to share is always excited and anxious to bring him back. He's not only a great dad, but a very loving husband. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed after you hear him speak."

Seminar Attendee

"Greg helped rebuild my marriage! My wife and I had a decent marriage but I couldn't figure out why we had these ruts that we could never seem to climb out of. After attending his marriage seminar, my wife and I were able to break out of the dance we'd been stuck in for years. A couple months back my wife said to me. "It has been so easy to love you lately". That was a first! Thanks for being such blessing to me."
Youth pastor in Northern Michigan

"At his seminar, Greg said something that changed my life. He mentioned that if he could give only one piece of advice about marriage it would be to create a marriage that feels like the safest place on earth. That has been my focus and my prayer since that day. I wanted to let you know that this past year has been one of tremendous growth for me personally and for us as a couple. We are so excited about the work that God is doing in our hearts. Thank you for your faithfulness…your ministry made a difference in my marriage."
