LAUGH YOUR WAY TO A BETTER MARRIAGE

Through exploring a variety of subjects including the myth of a "soul mate," the different ways men and women think, and the necessity to forgive, Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage proves that the key to marital bliss is not romance or destiny - it's work and skill.  Couples need to work hard at maintaining their relationship and to have the skills to pull it off.  The longer spouses wait to learn these skills, the greater their chance of wanting to bail. Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage makes it easy for couples to bring their relationship to the next level. By blending humor and tell-it-like-it-is honesty, Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage helps couples get along and have fun doing it.

 Marriage Builders’ University (MBU)

Here's what you should know about Marriage Builder’s University.

Our mission is to teach couples Biblical principles to develop a successful Marriage relationship.
The best courses, programs and Biblical principles plus an impressive list of been-there, done-that facilitators equals a really powerful resource for marriage education and relationship development.

MB University teaches real-life education differently than traditional Sunday School classes do. We believe people absorb more efficiently and faster when they learn by participating.

Our Philosophy

At MB University you will learn by participating. Each course includes assignments that consist of work that couples will need to complete. Why did we design the courses this way instead of just simply telling you about the subject? People learn by hearing and doing. Most of us know this intuitively. The Bible teaches us to be doers of the word and not just hearers.

• How do you learn to ride a bike?
• Do you want to get on a plane in which the pilot has learned his job through lectures, as opposed to actually practicing flying planes?
• How do you learn to speak, to read, to write?

Learning-by-hearing and doing is not a new idea. For thousands of years people who have thought about education have noted that we learn best by hearing and doing, not by being told. Why? Because we remember our own experiences much better than we remember things that we are only told.

MB University offers a variety of course topics that couples can choose to improve their marriage relationship. Offering these choices provides the opportunity for couples to major on the topic they believe will help them personally. Our goal in offering these different course topics is:

• To give couples a Biblical foundation to base their marriage on.
• To encourage couples to make church part of their weekly schedule.
• To educate couples to a level where they can influence other couples for God.
• To help couples immediately where they need help.
• To provide tools to every couple so they can succeed in their marriage relationship.
