An Exercise to Share 
It's no surprise to us to hear folks say that the five most common areas of conflict among couples are money, time, family, sex, and mess. Here's a simple exercise with guidance for couples to enter into a dialogue about what's going well and not so well in these areas.

Bring an FCE Event to Your Community

There is a particular richness when a retreat is held for couples within a single meeting or community. It not only enriches the individual couple relationships, but it also deepens the bonds of caring among the couples in the group, and thus enriches the meeting or community as well.

FCE has 16 active leader couples spread across North America. What would it take for your Meeting or Community to invite one of them to lead a Couple Enrichment Event in your community?
