From Chaplain Kelly: On 19 August (this Wednesday) there will be a Marriage Enrichment at the Geronimo Resiliency Center. The topic for the class is, "How to argue well". Conflict resolution for any couple can be difficult, and this class will give you some insight on how to work at solving conflict with your spouse in a healthy way. The class starts at 6PM and should last about 1 hour. Kids are welcome and I have a movie playing and toys for the Kids.
