The sparkling promise of engagement, the whirlwind of wedding planning, and the excitement of a new life together. But amidst the bouquets and ball gowns, let's not forget the foundation that truly makes a marriage last: communication and understanding.  Enter CCFR's RUN package, your personal guide to navigating the uncharted waters of marital bliss! It's like a treasure map to the heart of your relationship, revealing the hidden jewels of compatibility and growth. This isn't just about planning the perfect "I do" moment; it's about setting the stage for a "we will" journey that spans a lifetime.

With the RUN package, you're not just filling out forms or ticking boxes; you're diving deep into the ocean of your shared experiences, hopes, and dreams. This isn't your run-of-the-mill online quiz. It's an evidence-based, professional-led process designed to uncover the bedrock of your bond.

The Review phase is where you both reflect on your individual and collective strengths and challenges. It's a chance to gaze into each other's eyes and say, "I see you, and I understand you." It's about acknowledging your pasts and incorporating  them into your future.  Then comes the Unpacking, the heart of the journey. Here, you'll unravel the complexities of your relationship with the gentle guidance of a trained facilitator. They'll help you dissect the results of your assessment. You'll learn to communicate in ways that are as profound as they are practical, uncovering the hidden flavors of your connection.  And finally, the Notes. This is where the magic happens. You'll scribble down the pearls of wisdom from your conversations, creating a blueprint for a marriage that's as unique as your love story. It's a living document, a testament to your commitment to growth and the promise of a lifelong journey of give and take.

The RUN package isn't about fixing what isn't broken; it's about fortifying what's already strong. It's about equipping you with the tools to navigate the inevitable storms of life together, with the grace of a seasoned captain and the passion of a first-time explorer.  So, before you say "I do," take a moment to consider the RUN package. It's not just about walking down the aisle; it's about building a path that leads to a thriving, fulfilling marriage. It's about turning "until death do us part" into "until we've explored every corner of our hearts together."  Because let's face it, anyone can get married. But it's the couples who take the time to truly know each other, to cherish the small moments, and to tackle the tough conversations head-on that write the love stories we all aspire to live.
