Course Testimonials
“The course got to the root of our problems and we didn’t need hours and months of counseling to solve them. All we needed was the Fight Less, Love More Course .
The online virtual format felt like all the couples and course leader were in one room together.
It was great and we didn’t have to leave our home. Taking this course was one of the best things we ever did for our marriage!”
– John and Melissa N., Coloma, MI
” We have seen the results, now anytime we disagree on something we have a way to discuss it that brings results not frustration. A great class.”
– Meredith and Tom, KS
“This class was amazing! It gave us the chance to openly acknowledge and confront actual situations that we have with each other in a way that gives respect. We’ve been married for twenty three years but every couple, however long they’ve been married, should learn the concepts that this class offers. It would be great for engaged couples too. Thank you Family Dynamics and Laurie Puhn for such an amazing class.”
– Dawn and Steve, OK
“This class really did help us to fight less and love more. It was great to learn the different kinds of conversations and have examples of them to read and learn from. Then to try them out and see how well they worked is helping my husband and I in a number of ways. Thanks it is a great class!”
– Wendy and Mike, OH
“We think this is a perfect starter class for your marriage, we wish we had learned these conversation styles before we were married, would have stopped a lot of stupid arguments. It was an easy and actually fun course to take.”
