Marriage Enrichment

The Third Option

Every marriage hits rough patches and couples need a way to fully restore their relationship. The Third Option is a program that walks couples through 14 skills-based workshops, helping them to grow in everything from understanding anger, cultivating respect, stopping a hurt spiral, understanding personality differences, restoring trust, and much more.

The Third Option will meet every 2nd and 4th Monday at Mercy College, 921 6th Ave, Des Moines IA 50309. The workshop is held from 7-9 p.m. and walk-ins are welcome!

Teams of Our Lady

Teams of Our Lady is an international lay movement in the Catholic Church, designed to enrich married spirituality and make good marriages better. A team is comprised of five to seven couples who meet once a month, rotating from one home to another. The team becomes a close community that can inspire one another through their living examples of faith, and share with one another their struggles and successes on their way to holiness.

For questions regarding new and current teams, please contact Central-RC@teamsofourlady.org or fill out the contact form on teamsofourlady.org.

The 6 Dates Program

The 6 Dates Program, and the follow up Beatitudes program is an excellent marriage enrichment tool that invites couples to go out on six consecutive dates and discuss reflection questions that will foster communication, offer catechesis, and also help couples continue to nurture their marriage.
