WHAT IS THE BASIC PROGRAM STRUCTURE?
The Choice Wine: 7 Steps to a Superabundant Marriage is a 9-session, interactive multimedia experience. Couples may experience it by themselves at home, or with other couples either in a Home Group or at their church. While the timing of the sessions can be flexible, it is recommended to run consecutive weeks with as few breaks as possible. A retreat version is available to accommodate the need for a weekend timeframe. Learn more here.
