What do you want from us?
At MMJ your needs matter, so as we plan the months ahead, we want to hear from you about what you want from us. In the
next 12 months, we plan to offer some affordable (as in $5 or $10) community presentations on key marriage issues. For example, this fall I’m planning to speak to “How to Make Your Marriage Survive Parenting,” because we know no matter how much we love those kids of ours, they can put stress on our marriage. And yet, being in a healthy marriage is one of the best things we can do for our kids.
We’ve been looking at some other topics too, take a look, tell us what you think or add your ideas.
Possible Community Presentation Ideas:
- Where did the sex go?
- Midlife and Marriage
- Special Needs Kids = Special Needs Marriage
Remember, we read EVERYTHING you send, plus even if you respond with just “yes, I like your idea on parenting and marriage,” you will be put in a drawing for free tickets to attend. So come on, tell us what you want from us?
I really like the idea of the parenting and marriage class. I am about to have our second baby and we also have a two year old so finding time for our marriage can be challenging.
We would love to attend classes or a seminar about blending families. This has been our biggest struggle. I would love to see a format similar to “5 first dates” where there is a topic each week and book that follows with homework involved.
I think all the topics you mentioned are good ones! =) Thanks!
More events (like prom), as a married folk i need excess to have a date that is more than just going out to eat. A “real” date night and yes i LOVE the idea of the parenting event!!!!
I would love to see a seminar on how to navigate the early years of marriage. Perhaps some type of mentorship program would be helpful (it has been to my fiance and I, through our church). Perhaps how to make meaningful time for each other or build lasting intimacy early on in your marriage. Just thoughts from someone who is getting married in 2 weeks 🙂
I like the midlife and marriage seminar idea.
I love the ideas of parenting and marriage! I have been talking to Liza about this for the past few years, PLEASE do something on that and I also like special needs parenting topic.
Hello, I would like to see more opportunities for singles, especially for those that were married and those that would like to be married again.
I love the parenting/marriage talk idea. Another thing that would be nice is for my husband to not travel every time you have something I would like us to do! 🙂 But I don’t think you can help with that. It just seems to happen.
I love the idea of midlife and marriage, someone mentioned a prom for married couples i would love that since I never went to the prom. Any cheap date nights would be great or ideas on what to do in Jackson for a cheap date night.
Love the idea of parenting and marriage! My son will have a stepdad and after we marry adding a new child to the family.
I would like to attend some fun and informative date night events. Thank you for all you do.
I am eager to hear about the parenting and marriage. I would also love to hear more about intimacy and marriage, especially after kids! We love MMJ and are so thankful that we have been able to attend the events we have!
We love the idea of a parenting & marriage class. If you could have something on how to parent & step parent for those that are either in or going into a marriage where there is a child from another relationship that would be great. Thank you for all that you do, I can’t wait to go to more functions!
I would love a series on accepting all religions as a valid pathway to God. My husband and I are of two different faiths and no one wants to change. We decided to accept each other’s religion and as valid as the other’s. We do pray for each other and that’s a good thing.
