What is VOW?
The VOW Healthy Marriage Education Program is specifically designed to help build strong marriages. VOW is an innovative and interactive program designed to help young adult singles and couples access information that enables them to acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to foster and sustain healthy marriages.
VOW is a relationship education service. The VOW program has helped 5,600 couples with their relationships over the past five years. More than 80% of these couples report improvement in their relationships. We provide techniques that increase your ability to communicate and solve problems with your partner. Our approach to understanding your relationship allows us to tailor the education you receive to your specific needs.
What Is Your Love Language?
With more than 30 years of experience as a marriage counselor, Dr. Gary Chapman has heard it all. He has helped couples at every stage of marriage and at pivotal points in their relationships—from those just discovering the joys and trial of marriage to those who are ready to call it quits.
After many years of counseling, Dr. Chapman noticed a pattern: everyone he had ever counseled had a “love language,” a primary way of expressing and interpreting love. He also discovered that, for whatever reason, people are usually drawn to those who speak a different love language than their own.
Of the countless ways we can show love to one another, five key categories, or five love languages, proved to be universal and comprehensive—everyone has a love language, and we all identify primarily with one of the five love languages:
- Words of Affirmation
- Quality Time
- Receiving Gifts
- Acts of Service
- Physical Touch
