Have you hit the wall in your marriage? Do you and your spouse feel like two ships passing in the night?  If so, Tune Up Talks is here to help. Tune Up Talks is a one year marriage mentorship program led by two of our trained Harbor counselors: Todd and Shari Bentzel. The Bentzel's have over 10 years of counseling experience, and one of their specialties is spiritual direction in matters of marriage and family. Some of the topics discussed in this mentorship program include: 

• Communicating effectively 
• Working thru conflict biblically and resolving disputes
• Intimacy and Sex
• Wisely stewarding finances and money
• Many others...

Tune Up Talks utilizes a guided group counseling format where 6 couples commit to spending a year talking thru their marital struggles together.  The word group literally means "together" and resolving to work thru our struggles in small groups is powerfully effective as we are made in the image of Triune, 3-in-1 God. Our brains rely upon our relationships to properly organize themselves and what's going on internally is reshuffled and reorganized externally. This is which is why the philosopher John MacMurray observed “There are few things that I desire to do which do not depend upon the active involvement of others. I need you in order to be myself.” Thru the spiritual direction of Todd and Shari, the group not only grows closer together but also learns to have healthier marriages together. Couples will meet at the Bentzels house monthly for one calendar year.

It's always good to hear from those who have taken the journey before us, and here is an encouraging Tune Up Talk testimony from Paul and Allison Christakis.
