Conflict Resolution Skills for an Intimate Marriage
Facilitator: Dennis Boike, PhD
Wednesday, October 6, 13, 20 & 27, 2010: 7:30 - 9:00 PM Education Building
Today marriage requires more skill in negotiation between partners than ever before because there is less
that is automatically accepted and more that needs to be decided. The best predictor of marital satisfaction
and success is how differences, when they come up, are handled. This series will focus on how to handle
differences effectively and productively. This four week program will develop skills to facilitate decision
making and resolve conflict.
Dr. Boike holds a doctorate in marriage and family therapy and specializes in marriage counseling, divorce
adjustment, and working with adolescents.
