For a vibrant and lasting marriage
Could your relationship be on autopilot?
Drifting apart is one of the biggest reasons why many couples decide to call it quits. But there are simple ways to prioritise each other and stop just going through the motions. In this event, we’ll share practical ideas of how to communicate well, deepen connection and intentionally set the course for your relationship.
You’ll leave with …
- Ideas of how to stay intentional about choosing each other in the busyness of life
- Proactive ways to build the marriage you both want
- Tools to help you invest in your sex life and build emotional intimacy
- Insight into how your communication styles may differ and ways to effectively communicate your needs
- Encouragement that all couples struggle – it’s not a sign that your relationship is failing
'This type of event is essential to all marriages, in my opinion.'
Imagine you’re on a flight to a dream holiday, only halfway through, you hit turbulence and have to do an emergency landing in a muddy field. Relationships can often feel like this. At the beginning, you’re excited about a new adventure, but without time, active effort and intentionality, you can drift, or even crash land. Every relationship will face struggles, but the good news is, you can be prepared for when the rough patches come.
Going the Distance is a brand-new event where you get a rare chance to stop, take stock and invest in your relationship. Our speakers, Katharine Hill and Philip Jinadu share from their own lives without sugar-coating the challenging moments. They bring genuine honesty, plenty of humour, and explore the essential areas that will help you spot warning signs, avoid roadblocks and continue your journey together.
Katharine Hill
Katharine is the UK director of Care for the Family and is a celebrated speaker and author. She has a busy family life with four children and seven grandchildren, yet she still makes time to prioritise her marriage to Richard. After 38 years of marriage, naturally she has learned a thing or two about what it takes to invest in their relationship and to keep the spark alive.
Philip Jinadu
Philip is a regular conference and event communicator and a part of Care for the Family’s national speaking team. Through his marriage to Kate, and raising two daughters, Philip has become a fount of wisdom when it comes to marital communication.
Featuring content from Becky Francis, a relationship and psychosexual therapist.
