  • I think it is life-changing. It's very entertaining and, not as most men expect, boring.
  • This is the best marriage enhancer we've ever been to.
  • I believe any couple would benefit regardless of where they are in their marriage relationship.
  • The video was enjoyable and well done.
  • This event was a do or die for our marriage. I was ready to give up even though I had been super committed to keeping us together. This event was a catalyst for the healing of 2 people at the end of their marriage ropes.
