What one engaged couple took from Marriage Prep 101

We’re Marriage Prep 101 grads!

If you’ve been following our movements lately, you’ll know that we’re on the west coast with various plans afoot (and ever changing). Over the weekend we were in San Francisco attending Marriage Prep 101, a workshop for engaged and newlywed couples (okay, at four years in, we were the ringers).

The Marriage Prep 101 workshop provides couples with the framework for improving communication, understanding where problems occur in conflict resolution and recognizing the importance of intimacy. We were due to interview Marriage Prep 101 creators, Dr. Michelle and Dr. Patrick Gannon.

But bad news: Michelle has laryngitis and can’t talk! So we diverted up to Napa for a couple of days and we’re driving back through San Francisco on Tuesday with the (long shot) hope that she might have recovered her voice and the interview can happen.

So while we’re too busy quaffing Cabernet Sauvignon to give a full rundown of all the important stuff we learned in the workshop (and boy there was a lot), we did chat with one of the other couples who attended – Michelle and Brent – to get their reaction.


Our full rundown will follow soon.
