Join us for what’s sure to be a highlight of your family and the beginning of many positive changes.

Whether you have a large family, or anticipate having one or more children sometime in the future, this one-day conference led by Dr. Gary Chapman, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The 5 Love Languages®, 

will equip you and your spouse to cultivate a healthy family. 

With wisdom and a dose of humor, Dr. Chapman will provide valuable tips on breaking unhealthy patterns, 

making the necessary changes to improve all relationships, and specifically deepening relationships between spouses, as well as between parents and their children.    

Be equipped with Dr. Chapman's expertise on these insightful topics:

• The Family You've Always Wanted - The Family You've Always Wanted — What does it take to build a loving family? 

How do families stay strong in today's culture? Dr. Chapman answers these questions in this session. 

He digs deep into five key characteristics that help create a healthy, nurturing family environment, including: families who serve; 

husbands and wives who relate intimately; parents who guide; children who obey and honor parents; and husbands who love and lead.

• The 5 Love Languages of Children and of Teenagers — You love your child, but does your child feel loved? Are you struggling to connect with your teenager? 

In this session, Dr. Chapman teaches parents the five love languages and how they can express love to their children 

and/or teenagers in a way that makes them feel loved. 

Raising kids is tough work, but you'll receive expert advice and many practical examples.

• Initiating Positive Change — Dr. Chapman speaks to both men and women in this session as he shares the key to thriving marriages and relationships. 

Where do we get our motivation to change? There is something more powerful than 'trying harder'.

• Anger: How to Tame a Powerful Emotion — Are you handling your anger, or is it handling you? 

In this session, Dr. Chapman offers helpful and surprising insights into why you get angry and what you can do about it. 

You'll recognize the difference between "bad" and "good" anger; how to use anger to motivate yourself toward positive change; 

how to release long-simmering resentment; and how to teach your children how to deal with anger.

• The 5 Apology Languages — We all mess up. 

We say and do things we deeply regret and attempt to make things right. But sometimes, "I'm sorry" isn't enough. 

In this session, Dr. Chapman will show you how to apologize-and receive apologies-in ways that actually work. 

But he will also teach you when and how to forgive someone who has deeply hurt you.
