Third Option – Building Better Marriages by Promoting Growth and Reconciliation
Find hope, help, and healing for your marriage by attending the Third Option – a skills-based group program that helps participants build stronger, more fulfilling marriages. Each 14-session cycle covers a comprehensive set of tools that couples can use to develop better levels of understanding, conflict-resolution, and trust while also learning more effective communication skills. Sessions will be held on alternating Mondays starting Jan 21, from 7-9 pm, at Bishop Dwenger High School (enter at Door #1 – Main Office). Please contact us at 260.338.OPT3 or ThirdOptionFW@gmail.com or visit www.ThirdOptionFW.org for more information (including a list of topics covered at each session). This ministry is an outreach of the parishes of Our Lady of Good Hope, St Charles Borromeo, St Jude, and St Vincent de Paul.
