Q/A about the Passionate Intimacy Workshop:

Q: You recommend staying at the INN. Why?

A: Local couples sometimes want to save some money by staying at home and driving to the workshop. Going home changes your focus to family life, phone messages, emails, babysitters, and life details. Plus, you have the time crunch of travel. We want your spouse and marriage to be the only thing that you are focused on for this weekend. We recommend staying at the Inn.
Q: With this topic I am afraid that it will be a bit embarrassing to be there with my friends.

A: This is a common concern. In reality, we work to make this workshop as safe as we can. Other than on breaks, the only time couples interact is in the beginning of the workshop. All other times couples stay focused on their spouse and their marriage.
Q: We are having some sexual problems in our marriage. Will this workshop help?

A: This is an enrichment workshop. It is targeted for those who have a generally good marriage but want to improve it. It is not designed to replace therapy.
Q: I have some specific questions on this topic. Will we be able to ask questions?

A: One of the most popular segments of the workshop is “Ask Dr. Mike”. Throughout the workshop couples will have blank cards available. You can ask any question you want on those cards without identifying who you are.
