Marriage seminars have been around for a while. The most well known is "Marriage Encounter" which was originally oriented for those of the Catholic faith. Now it has spread to all different denominations, with groups all over the world. The principles of these marriage seminars are simple: Teach couples how to improve their communication, and keep their perspective focused on sacred marriage promises as expounded by their own Christian faith.

"Therapeutic marriage seminars involve more in-depth personal discussion and experiencing, while marriage enrichment seminars provide a lighter, more educational and motivational approach." (Dr. Ken Robertson)

In addition to marriage seminars that are religiously based, there have been a few that have sprung up in the past 20 years that are more secular in nature. These tend to be run more by marriage counseling or therapy professionals, and usually are more intensive.  The principles of these marriage seminars are to help couples examine their own interpersonal styles and improve their communication.  Usually they include having couples take a test of some sort to either assist the presenter in the presentation or provide feedback to the couples regarding current "strengths" or "weaknesses" that exist in their relationship.

While religiously based marriage seminars tend to be one time experiences (although several "marriage encounter-type" groups have follow-up seminars available), secular marriage seminars often include several weekend events, where different topics are explored.  It has become common among professionals to classify seminars as having either a "therapeutic" or an "enrichment" focus.  Therapeutic marriage seminars involve more in-depth personal discussion and experiencing, while marriage enrichment seminars provide a lighter, more educational and motivational approach.

"Magnify Your Marriage" Seminars

LDS Magnify Your Marriage seminars and retreats are based on the assumption that most couples are "ready" for a lighter educational LDS marriage enrichment approach, rather than something more personal (although often one spouse in a couple may be desirous of something more).  Dr. Ken Robertson has found that this less intrusive approach can help most couples (together) make great strides.  In addition, it can prepare the relationship for more in-depth approaches in the future, should they be needed.

Saturday-only seminars are not often available, due to higher interest in the pampering get-away overnight retreats at quality hotels. However, most of our retreat locations have the option of only attending the Friday night and Saturday day presentations at a retreat without the overnight stay for approximately $100 less. Also, if ordered at least a month in advance, we often have 2 payment plans available for our full overnight retreat packages.

So come, enjoy and learn ways to better Magnify Your LDS Marriage.
