Create a shared picture of the kind of loving, faithful family the couple wants to build. Workshop exercises: 1) Each spouse lists five hopes for the family. 2) Compare lists and circle shared priorities. 3) Turn the priorities into a family mission statement. 4) Ask the children for one idea that would make the home more loving.
