The topic for Thursday, March 5, 2026 is Room to Grow and will be led by Rev. Father Daniel Triant, M.Div., and Presvytera Michelle Triant. Discussion will focus around Family. Approximately two-thirds of couples have a sharp drop in relationship satisfaction shortly after a child is born, and this drop gets deeper with each subsequent child. To avoid this drop in relationship happiness, conflict needs to be low and you need to maintain your sexual relationship.
