Summary
The better your relationships---with friends, family, the opposite sex, and God---the better your life. This six-session video-based study (DVD sold separately) with workbook by acclaimed relationship experts Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott, will help group participants learn to make bad relationships better and good relationships great. It all begins with a single sentence that can revolutionize every relationship.

Next, they provide the tools for bridging the gender gap and cultivating 'friends of the heart' as well as how to improve what they call the Love IQ. Ultimately, participants will discover how to peel away unhealthy religious cliches and get real about relating to God.
