The powerful truth about Love & Respect is that the conflicts couples experience are not the root problem. Successful couples know that harmony and happiness in marriage are not primarily achieved by solving daily problems. Though the problems are real, they are not the root issue. Come find out with other couples what the root issues are! Please join us in the chapel at Highland Park Community Church as Dr. Emerson Eggerich addresses the topic of Love & Respect in a five-week video series. The series begins Sunday from 6 to 8 p.m., and child care will be provided by registering your children with Cheryl at 577-6072. There is no cost for the class, and optional workbooks will be available for $5. For more information, please call Tim at 262-4905.
