"ALL ABOUT US 2008".
The Oklahoma Marriage Initiative launches its 2008 All About Us tour which includes 18 stops. Expert, dynamic workshop
leaders will teach couples the Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program (PREP),
a research-based curriculum. Those who attend the free workshops will learn how to have
the best marriage possible, talk without arguing, and have more fun together. This is
not marriage counseling. It is marriage education presented in a fun and exciting way.
