Why should you attend Passport 2 Love
My name is Teresa Kilcrease. I have been married to my sweetheart, Mark for nearly 21 years. We have been involved in Passport 2 Love for a year and a half and I volunteer as the Social Media Consultant for Passport 2 Love. This is my personal journey...
A year and a half ago, just shy of our 20 year mark, we again found ourselves traveling back down a difficult road. This time we recognized it. We saw the signs, and knew that it wasn't a road we wanted to travel again. What we didn't know was how to change course. We started to look around for resources. We took a marriage class from a local college. It was our first introduction to PREP. We followed the first class up, by signing up for the original Passport 2 Love date nights. We learned a several skills that have made a significant difference in our lives, and in our marriage. The first of these principles are the three central themes of PREP. First, "Decide, don't slide." We don't have to simply accept that we have a bad or good marriage. We can make a conscientious decision to improve our marriage. This is the same if you have been married for 2 weeks or 25 years. Even a great marriage can be improved when couples choose the path their marriage will follow. The second of these principals is "Make it safe to connect." This was a huge wake up call for me personally. It was choosing not to let my emotions rule the conversation and reminding myself that I love this man and I want him to know that he can come to me with his concerns without being hit with a blast of emotional backlog. The last of these principles is "Do your part." Once again, this principle really put things into perspective for me. Am I a "right-fighter?" Where is my priority? Is it getting my point of view through or is it improving and nurturing my marriage and my husband.
While it is possible to muddle through and hope that you come out alright at the other end (we did it once before.), there is an incredible comfort in knowing that you can take control of the course that you are following and you can choose to have a bright and amazing future with your sweetheart. The Passport 2 Love program is even more amazing because you get the opportunity to learn these skills, and many more in a safe, fun environment with other couples, who are also charting their own course to a better marriage through Passport 2 Love.
