Our Marriage Enrichment program gives you and your spouse opportunities to grow and nourish your marriage through humor, speakers and a variety of topics; all to enhance your marriage. Does your marriage feel stale at times? Do you feel as if your relationship is withered and although things are okay, you both have the “Blahs?” The six week series can provide an excellent opportunity for enhancing communication, developing trust, cultivating physical intimacy, dealing with anger, nurturing spirituality, and adjusting to the inevitable bumps that happen in every marriage.

Couple to Couple Ministers share their journey with some of the couples preparing for Marriage and their Weddings at Saint Ambrose. We are so blessed by their ‘yes’ and choosing to share their gift of married love. As we grow in the number of weddings, we could use a few more married couples to help prepare engaged couples. No couple is perfect… more importantly, each couple works to perfect love over the course of their life and marriage. If you are interested and/or open to learning more, please contact Kim!
Couple-to-Couple Training
No marriage is perfect. No couple is perfect. However…your faithfulness and experience can be a great blessing to couples preparing for Marriage. We are looking for six additional couples to join our Couple to Couple Ministry. You meet with a couple to be married and share some life experiences and wisdom with them as they prepare for their life together. It’s enriching for the couple to be married and a great way of keeping your marriage ever fresh and new.
Interested? Willing to learn about it? Contact Kim Nemet at knemet@StAmbrose.us. All the training will be provided.
