Feedback from past participants

“Thank you so much for your great delivery of the content and facilitation in the marriage preparation course. I found the first day of the course helped me raise my self-awareness and the second day of the course that touched on forgiveness was a means of catharsis for me through the sharing by other participants. I will highly recommend this course to my friends who are getting married.”
