Family Enrichment

Families often struggle with overcoming the many obstacles to foundational relationships. Husbands and wives, parents and children, siblings, and immediate family and extended family alike encounter seemingly insurmountable challenges.

This program employs the case study methodology, commonly found in business and law school classrooms, to examine scenarios relevant to family life. We analyze the complex and sometimes daunting situations faced by families to better understand their causes and identify their resolution. While the case studies are instructive, the experience and wisdom from the parents participating prove invaluable. Guided by an experienced moderator, who is also a parent, couples strengthen their unity and renew their commitment to one another and their families.

The method

The case study method offers practical skills for handling the pressing circumstances that arise each day. Each course has between five and ten cases.

The case study method teaches you to:

1. Draw out facts
2. Identify problems based on facts
3. Discern appropriate solutions

Family Enrichment is designed so you can apply this method to any situation at home, work, etc. It helps you sustain focus and make accomplishments with the things that matter most — your marriage, your family, and your relationships with other people.

Applying the method

For the success of the method, following these steps is essential.

1. Individual Study: each spouse reads the case.
2. Couple discussion: spouses discuss the case with each other.
3. Team Meeting: four to five couples discuss the case as a Team.
4. General Meeting: All groups meet in a general session with a moderator that directs the discussion.
