How to Have a Long-Lasting Relationship and/or Marriage Mini-Workshops Are Coming

FAITHBASED MINI-WORKSHOPS: 10 SEASONS OF RELATIONSHIP & MARRIAGE*

 Marriages are failing and as marriages fail, society crumbles!

 Jeanne Gormick, married to her late husband for almost 50 years, knows marriage is a roller coaster of ups and downs. She brings her life experiences (and solutions) to help you improve your treasured marriage, so you can have a successful marriage.

 These faith-based dating and marriage workshops are designed for anyone who is married or contemplating marriage. These workshops are for individuals who are not currently in crisis, but want to explore new ways to improve their relationships.

 Referrals to professionals available as needed.

 Crafted with an easy-to-digest bullet point format, igniting your thoughts and sparking crucial conversations with your significant other. Let the journey of connection begin! 🚀💬

Reasonably priced they are designed for everyone and presented by a real woman who made it through 50 years of marriage.

 I am not a licensed therapist or trained professional but I bring a real-life marriage to the table and offer referrals to professionals as needed. The handouts alone, are worth the price of admission.

 These personalized workshops bring key points that can later be discussed with a professional, as needed.

 ($25/session; $35 for 2 sessions or to include a friend or your significant other)

 *As life happens, some of the following seasons may overlap or occur sooner than expected. Select the season(s) you are currently in or an upcoming season.

Excerpts From Your Treasured Marriage Book Coming Soon

Next month I will be launching my 4th book and I thought I’d share some excerpts from Your Treasured Marriage: A God-centered Guidebook to Create Long-Lasting Love

 

Senior Prom

 

From Chapter 1 

First Date 

All around us, windows steamed while ours remained clear. From the standpoint of teens in the heat of passion, I suppose our car was one of the boring ones that cool November evening. We were having fun anyway!

The movie was Judith. The year was 1966.

Like most of the kids there, I can’t remember details of the film we’d come to see, but not because we were steaming up the windows. Because we were hot and heavy into a deep discussion of religion. I had just discovered Cal Gormick, whom I’d recently met at the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) teen program, was actually Jewish. I had always been drawn to Jewish boys—something my parents frowned upon.

After a pretty intense discussion about the Jewish faith, he turned to me as the movie was ending and asked if I would do him a favor.

“Of course,” was my immediate response.

Then very seriously, very eloquently, he inquired, “Will you kiss me?”

How could I resist? This boy had such a special quality about him—a special gentleness—and, yet, so much life and energy. He certainly hadn’t acted the way most guys act at a drive-in. He hadn’t rushed at my body and pawed at me all night. He’d been my brother, my friend … such a refreshing change…”

Watch for Pre-Sale Announcements!

 

From Chapter 24 

Going in Different Directions: Cal’s Last Few Months

“…You gave me a wonderful life and family. We have three loving children and we are very proud of all five of our grandchildren who are becoming productive contributors to society. In this world of absent fathers and the residual aftermath, you were a stellar, godly example of a good father.

You stuck by me through all those years of struggle with our opposite personalities.

And, Lord God, you blessed us through it all—especially when we were being selfish, sinful humans!

Life is a special event and without you, I’m missing the music you brought into my life.”
