empty nest & retirement years

 

getting ready for a great retirement seminar

this one-day seminar is designed for couples 40-60 years of age who have just begun to think about what they could do after they retire.  unlike many other retirement seminars, this will not focus on financial issues.  instead, it will focus on the social, intellectual, physical and spiritual issues involved in a retired couple's life.  short exercises will be included to get the couple thinking about some of these issues in their own lives. 

 

personal assessment topics include:

  • getting to know me

  • time for exploration and discovery

opportunities discussed include:

  • volunteering

  • education and travel

  • the power of friendships

challenges discussed include:

  • once a parent, always a parent

  • the post-retirement marriage

based on the book "getting ready for a great retirement," by barbara deane, dick & carol cronk will also include personal illustrations of their own retirement experience.  for more info about scheduling a seminar, call 937-890-7078 or email rcronk@woh.rr.com

 

the second half of marriage seminar

couples in this one-day workshop receive and use the book "the second half of marriage," by david & claudia arp.  it challenges couples to reinvent their marriage, make mid-course adjustments, and to reconnect with one another in a more meaningful way.  so, if your nest is about to empty, is empty, or should be empty, joing us as we talk about these challenges:

  • letting go of past marital disappointments, forgiving each other and committing to make the rest of your marriage the best.

  • creating a marriage that is partner-focused, rather than child-focused.

  • maintaining an effective communication system that allows you to express your deepest feelings, joys and concerns.

  • using anger and conflict in a creative way to build you relationship.

  • building a deeper friendship and enjoying your spouse.

  • renewing romance and restoring a pleasurable sexual relationship.

  • adjusting to changing roles with aging parents and adult children.

  • evaluating where you are on your spiritual pilgrimage, growing closer to each other and to god, and together serving others.
