Soul mates. Romance. Chemistry. We have often heard that “when you find that special someone, you’ll just know it in your heart.”

But love doesn’t have to be blind to be real.

PICK a Partner is for single and single-again adults who want to learn how to date with heart and head working together.

Both men and women who look back on a bad relationship or a broken marriage often say:

“I should have known better.”
“I thought they would change.”
“I saw it when we were dating…but I was in love.”

This program reveals how people form bonds of love and attachment. With this knowledge, you can avoid getting attached too quickly and too deeply to a person who cannot form a healthy relationship. You will discover some crucial areas to explore in your dating relationships and ways you can improve your own ability to be a healthy partner.

Taught in two 4-hour sessions, this workshop offers lecture, multi-media presentation, group discussion and other activities. Each participant will receive a workbook for use in class and at home.

Learn the five key areas to explore when getting to know a person and how to predict what that person will be like in marriage.
Learn the five bonding forces that create attachments in relationships using the Relationship Attachment Model (R.A.M.).
Learn how to keep these bonding forces in balance as the relationship develops and how to grow closer at a healthy pace.
