Getting the conversations going for healthy relationships.Family Talks arose out of our family’s experience of starting a monthly conversation time with our kids when they were still quite young. We wanted to create a time where we could sit down together as a family in an atmosphere of openness. For us, that consisted in lighting a candle, turning the lights down low, tv off, phones put away, and we were left to just...talk. We were amazed at what came out, and this practice shaped our lives together and opened up a place where things got dealt with, instead of being swept under the rug. In Family Talks, we will share candidly about our lives from the experience of raising three daughters, working on our marriage of almost 30 years, and also in our work of counseling and coaching people, helping them navigate through the seasons of their lives. Welcome to Family Talks with Marney & Curtis!
