What are Power of Two workshops?

Power of Two live-online marriage workshops are highly interactive classes taught by trained marriage educators and delivered directly to your living room through your computer and phone. Our small class format allows you to get to know your teacher and other couples from around the country.

"We were skeptical of how the whole online thing would work... but in the end, we thought doing it from home made it a more honest experience. We were sitting on our own couch, eating pop-corn, and being coached through the various exercises. Now our couch feels like a safe place to have difficult discussions because it reminds us to use our Power of Two skills. We were really impressed..." -- Lauren & Ben, Washington DC
