Exciting New Class for Couples being offered

The Marriage and Parenting Program will be offered for the first time in Worcester County beginning February 26th.

Ask any couple what they want most for the future and a “strong relationship & happy family” nearly always rank at the top of their list. Unfortunately, the number of marriages ending in divorce and broken homes bears witness to the fact that the dream is often more difficult to attain that to imagine.

Relationships are never easy - both marriage and parenting are journeys where the challenges are sometimes the greatest… but the rewards are the richest.

“My mother had a great deal of trouble with me,
but I think she enjoyed it”
-Mark Twain

The “Ma & Pa” program teaches parents how to turn those challenges into opportunities…. To change, to grow and to share a life that is more than just imagined.

Created by Mark Perlman, author of the nationally acclaimed Nurturing Father’s program, “Ma & Pa” is an 8 week course that takes couples (married or unmarried) on a journey back to their childhood, allows them to explore old family influences, share new experiences and learn practical problem solving skills to enrich and strengthen their relationship and family.
