The Cornerstone for Happiness: Marriage and Family Seminar is a one-day interactive workshop developed by WFWP USA that is meant to empower both women and men of all ages to improve their family and marriage relationships based on the unique undergirding philosophy of living for the sake of others and living by the logic of love.

The Cornerstone for Happiness curriculum has proven to help in creating stronger, healthier and happier families which we believe is the cornerstone of a peaceful world. It has motivated and inspired many to take a new look at their marriage and family, and yes, commit or even recommit to the same spouse they have been married to.

This curriculum illustrates the importance of building healthy marriages and families, both for ourselves and for our society. It also addresses the inherent challenges we are faced with that make it hard to accomplish the goals of a healthy marriage and family. Whether you have been married for 5 months of fifty years, marriage is a lifelong commitment and investment that requires continuous learning. As such, this curriculum is a tool to facilitate that learning process by first and foremost teaching how to lead by example within your family.

We believe that world peace begins within an individual, that the family is meant to be the school of love, and that parents are meant to be the primary educators of the heart for their children. This means that the strength and success of a family depends on the strength and success of a marriage. We believe that marriage matters!

The hope is that each participant in this seminar leaves empowered with new insights and practical strategies that can be immediately applied to daily life, whether one is currently married or not.

Testimonials:

Myrna, Georgia
“For me, one of the great takeaways from this particular presentation and the day as a whole was the concept and activity presented on Loving Actions. A loving action is intentional behavior on our part that is motivated, unilateral, experimental and requires discipline. Instead of trying to get our partners to change, we work at becoming more loving and accepting and focus on what we can do differently!”
