CHOOSING WISELY BEFORE YOU DIVORCE

"Choosing Wisely Before You Divorce" is a five-week program whose ultimate goal is reconciliation, and is highly recommended for couples whose marriage is in deep conflict, where divorce or separation has been discussed. Before You Divorce provides a starkly realistic picture of what the break-up of a marriage will do to everything in your life - your children's lives, your finances, your emotional, spiritual and physical health. Before You Divorce is facilitated privately between one couple and the facilitator(s). If you or your spouse are considering divorce and are interested in our "Choosing Wisely Before You Divorce" program, please email Wendy at info@briarwoodbaptist.net. Information about this program for couples will be sent to you and a mutually agreeable meeting time will be determined.
