What is the "Love and Respect" seminar?

This 10-week study is designed for couples or singles who are interested in understanding more about their partner. Whether you have been married 3 months or 30 years, Dr. Emerson Eggrichs will help you to better understand your partner's needs in a humorous but insightful way. Each week will begin with a short video followed by a time to interact with other couples to discuss the material. For the South Church couples who have been through the series, this discussion was the best part, as we would laugh about our own misunderstandings, or nod in gender agreement about some of the wonderful perceptions that Dr. Eggrichs had just offered.

Each week will begin promptly at 7 p.m., and end at 8:15 sharp.  Childcare will be provided. There is a $5 registration fee per person to cover materials and other costs. While the course works best when both husband and wife participate, spouses can come alone. Trust us, your partner will want to come after hearing about what you have learned. Non-South Church people are also welcome to join us. You may want to show them some of the material listed below so they can get a better idea of what is in store. While the material is biblically based, it is more about pragmatic material for strengthening relationships.
