About Within Our Reach 8 Hours:
Within Our Reach™ 8 Hours comes from PREP, Inc.®, one of the leaders in marriage education. It is designed for couples (married or dating) to attend together. This program helps couples create happier, more stable marriages, to improve quality of life not only for themselves but also for their children. Within Our Reach 8 Hours strives to help couples achieve their goals in marriage, family, and relationships. The program builds upon couple’s existing strengths, while adding important relationship skills to create a stable and safe family environment. These skills include:
- Respectful talking and listening
- Nurturing and supporting your partner
- Recognizing and communicating issues and expectations
- Acknowledging satisfaction through commitment
Within Our Reach 8 Hours moves away from the traditional lecture format. Instead, it is highly engaging and interactive, inviting couples to apply the lessons they learn to their lives and relationships.
