The Eight Dates Marriage series promises to be a balance of vibrant content, integration of our Orthodox Christian faith, and opportunity for small group discussion catered specifically to the various needs that couples face on a daily basis. Participating couples will be given weekly exercises and questions to complete together for additional value outside the scheduled meetings. Ultimately, each couple should come away with the resources necessary for healthy commitment to one another, as well as an expanded Metropolis community of supportive peers in the process.
