Married Couple's Relationship Enrichment Workshop
Married Couple's Relationship Enrichment Workshop
Ekam is a couple enrichment workshop designed for married couples of all faiths and backgrounds, run by Capuchin fathers from St. Thomas Capuchin Provincialate, Aluva, Kerala, India. We believe that strong marriages are built on deeper understanding, authentic communication, and genuine connection.
Our workshop brings couples together in a safe, respectful space where you can rediscover each other, strengthen your bond, and build lasting tools for a thriving marriage. Whether you're in your first year or your 25th year of marriage, there's something meaningful here for you.
