Presenters: Tim and Denise Murray

This will be an evening of sharing and enrichment for married couples based on the best selling book Men are Like Waffles-Women are Like Spaghetti. There is no cost for this event, though a free-will donation will be asked for to cover the cost of drinks and snacks. Married couples are invited to take some time out for themselves and do something good for their marital relationship. If you plan to attend, please make a reservation by signing up in church, calling the rectory, or e-mailing stbarbara@stbarbarachicago.org. Come spend a few hours learning how to better understand your spouse and accept each others differences. This will be an evening just for the two of you. You will not be asked to share anything personal in front of the group. This should be a most enjoyable evening for couples of all ages
