Research shows that doing this just before or just after marrying corresponds with a greater success in marriage and a lower likelihood of divorce.
Dr. Jay Lindsay offers Couple Communication I and Couple Communication II, well-researched, widely acclaimed, and award-winning programs developed by Interpersonal Communication Programs, Incorporated (ICP).

Both courses can be taken in either a class format or a private format.
