Marriage Workshop
Let’s Talk about Sex…
Dave and Kathy Eastman will be addressing common problems that occur in the physical relationship in marriage. The focus will be how to communicate with each other about these problem areas. It is often very difficult for couples to talk with each other about these concerns in their own marriage and even harder to get outside help and support. Even if a couple doesn’t feel this Workshop would be a need in their own lives, it is helpful to hear the information being presented so we can build a “common language” around this topic.
Dave and Kathy Eastman have served in the full-time ministry for over 40 years in churches throughout the United Sates and Canada. Dave has a passion for teaching, preaching and the Worship Ministry. Kathy has a Master’s Degree in Social Work/Counseling and is a Licensed Social Worker with a passion for incorporating emotional and spiritual health practices in her teaching. The Eastmans have three adult children who are each married to wonderful spouses and seven beautiful grandchildren who are the light of their lives.
Due to the specific issues being addressed, this workshop will NOT be recorded and it.will not be live-streamed.
