Are you a single Catholic who desires to develop healthy dating habits so that you can follow your heart without losing your head? If so, this short formation course at Church of the Resurrection in Lansing, November 1-2, is made for you.
“I'd encourage everyone who is single, even if you are engaged, to consider joining us for this formation course, since it's a great, scientific and faith-based exploration of romantic relationships,” explains Pastor of the Church of the Resurrection, Father Steve Mattson, October 22.
The course will be facilitated by James Coffey of Communio, a nonprofit that trains and equips churches to evangelize through the renewal of healthy relationships, marriages, and the family.
Participants will learn about the Relationship Attachment Model - an interactive tool that identifies five bonds that make up a relationship: Know, Trust, Rely, Commit, Touch. Participants also learn to explore the five strongest predictors of what a partner will be like in a long-term relationship, specifically marriage. The predictors are: family background, attitudes and actions of the conscience, compatibility potential, examples of relationship patterns, skills of healthy relationships. Details:
