I’m looking for a good DVD in-home marriage seminar that I can purchase to help a young couple who are having a difficult time.

They are Catholic friendly, but non-religious for the most part and need a LOT of help.

I’ve seen some decent printed material, but the husband, at least, is unlikely to use it. There’s a much better chance he will respond to a video workshop. My wife and I have managed to interest the wife in church and she has talked about RCIA and having the kids baptized, but is decidedly lazy about follow through and the husband is positively foot-dragging.

We take their kids to Mass frequently and would really like to help give the little ones a decent shot at life.

I’d haul them to a marriage encounter myself, but my budget wouldn’t stand it. I think I can mentor the husband with the right kind of aid and my wife is working on his other half.

This has been an ongoing project and I’m about out of ideas. They really need to get Jesus involved in their marriage.

Any help will be sincerely appreciated.
 
Just a thought, it is not a DVD as you requested but there is a lot of good common sense knowledge in Dr. Laura’s book ,“The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands”. She is not Christian of course but her selfless attitudes about marriage are really quite Christ-like. 🙂
 
check out Cloud and Townsend DVD on Boundaries in Marriage.
It is amazing!! I have been reading the book and it helps a lot.
 
Joanneh - Thanks. I once tried the Dr. Laura book on my youngest daughter. I think I still have the book somewhere.

miriam - I’ll look into the Boundaries DVD. At first glance, it’s promising.

Thanks again!
 
Thanks leonie and truthinlife!

I’m looking into your suggestions!
