This 5-week program is designed to help strengthen any marriage. It focuses on helping couples transition from a "Doom Cycle" to a "Bloom Cycle" by committing to and cultivating the key nutrients needed to make their marriage flourish. The document outlines the five key nutrients as commit to love, cherish and respect, be gracious and forgive, choose the right words, and seek a greater purpose. It emphasizes that truly committing to sacrificial love on a daily, yearly and seasonal basis is essential to blooming, and provides homework for couples to draft a commitment plan along these lines to work on over the next six weeks.
