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:
