Building A Marriage That Lasts

The Salvation Army Kroc Center is now offering an opportunity to build a lasting marriage by equipping couples with the tools they need to address life's challenges in a healthy way.

Over the past 20 years of working for The Salvation Army, I have encountered many children who through no fault of their own have been caught in the middle of ugly and bitter parental splits.

Very often the results are devastating and last long after the dispute at the root of the breakup. At The Salvation Army Kroc Center we believe in the institution of marriage and that positive and healthy relationships are one of many keys to a healthy, balanced life.

In addition to a large selection of state-of-the-art fitness equipment, group fitness classes, martial arts, aquatics and an array of opportunities to remain physically fit, the Kroc Center will offer members a varity of options that will help families maintain an emotionally healthy life.

The great part is even though construction is moving forward at a rapid pace and we remain on target to open in the spring of 2012, no one need wait until the Kroc Center is open to take advantage of such opportunities. We are currently registering couples to participate in a 6-session program called "Marriage Built To Last".

In just a couple of weeks the first group will begin and just one more opportunity remains for a couple to participate. You see very often divorce is the end result of a failure to resolve a simple conflict or an unwillingness to place the wellbeing of our partner before that of our own.

Such issues if left unresolved fester, ultimately spilling over to every eliment of a couples relationship. The Kroc Centers new marriage enrichment program will seek to address six issues that seem to plague marriages and will result in couples being better equipped to handle the blows life can sometimes throw us.
