"He/she should make some changes!"

Tonight we begin an eight-week video series called "Rescue Your Love Life."  These videos are based upon the book of the same name by Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend. The subtitle is “Changing The Eight Dumb Attitudes and Behaviors that Will Sink Your Marriage” - but these attitudes and behaviors are found not just in marriages, but in many, if not most, relationships. Unrealistic expectations of partners are the root causes of many relationship failures. This material will help you understand past relationship experiences, and prepare yourself for healthier ones in the future.

This series is offered to the community free of charge by Divorce and Relationship Recovery Burlingame, a program devoted to helping people struggling with divorce or relationship issues, whether past, present or future. Our weekly meetings run from 6:30 pm to 8:30pm and are held at First Presbyterian Church of Burlingame, at 1500 Easton Ave (at El Camino Real). After a brief introduction, we see a video (or at other times of the year, hear from a live speaker) until about 7:30. Then after an overview of our program and some introductions and announcements, we take a short break and go into smaller groups at about 7:45 for the remainder of the meeting. There's a special group for newcomers and visitors, support groups, and discussion groups.

We also offer an on-site dinner, children's activities and infant/child care. These services are offered for a fee and require reservations in advance.
