"The cruise was fantastic!!! I only wish next February was already here. This had to be the most fun vacation I have ever had. It felt like I was out on a really fun date for seven nights in a row. I loved the seminars, the entertainment, the food, excursions, friends, clean rooms, everything was so excellent!!!!!!!!"
~~~~~~~~~~
"We had a wonderful time on the Couples Cruise! The weather was amazing, the islands were stunning, the ship was cool and the company was the best. We were in bathing suits almost every day and did things like snorkeling, kayaking, snorkeling, sun bathing, snorkeling, hiking, etc.
In the evenings, we were making friends with the couples in the group, EATING, and dancing, and spending time in the spa. We had such a good time getting to know everyone and learning more about our marriage. Laura's seminars made a good cruise great. It is so refreshing to learn about sexual responses / differences, communication, and even anatomy from a source that is not raunchy or too revealing. Laura and her husband are younger than expected but Laura is so knowledgeable and passionate (no pun intended) about the subject that you feel so comfortable learning from her. I cannot say that the cruise solved all of our issues but we are working on it, and doing a lot of "homework." Wink! Wink! My husband and I have told everyone who will listen about how great it was so, Laura, you will have to be an extra good student and hurry through your graduate program so that we can plan on another cruise. We may double the attendance with a group from our circle of friends!"
~~~~~~~~~~
"The cruise was GREAT, not only for the for the seminars alone, but it was so much fun getting to know other couples, socializing, and the on-shore tours. In fact, I think the cruises with Laura are the best cruises I've ever been on. It was the ultimate "Valentine's Cruise," and I highly recommend the tradition! The investment in your marriage will be returned MANY times the investment!"
~~~~~~~~~~
"The cruise and the seminars were definitely a 10! I think the dinners together was one of my favorite things because we had such a good time with our new friends!! I have recommended this cruise to my family and friends, and I have even apologized to those I should have invited this time! Thank you so much, we loved it, loved it, loved it!!!"
~~~~~~~~~~
"I just have to let you know how much I loved the cruise. I was so impressed with how Laura and her husband went around visiting with people and seemed to know everyone by name. That was so cool. Nothing seemed to ruffle her feathers. Laura must have a real gift. She is so well read and informed about almost everything it seems, and the information she needed appeared at her finger tips in seconds when needed. I don't think she even knows how to say the word um!"
~~~~~~~~~~
"This cruise was a blast! I highly recommend it to any couple that wants to build a better marriage...and come away with a better relationship with your husband as your best friend and lover!!"
~~~~~~~~~~
"The cruise was a miracle for our marriage...my wife came away with so many insights, and hope that we can address our issues. The presentations/discussions were the best part of the whole cruise! That made the whole week worthwhile!!! And Yes! we would like some 'further discussion on creating a wonderfully fulfilling intimate relationship' through our phone consults with you. Seriously, the best part of the whole cruise for us was the homework!!---discussing and applying what we learned. Thank you so much for the time we were able to spend together with you! My wife has come home from the cruise waiting on me hand-and-foot, which sounds totally selfish, except that I am trying to do the same for her. The cruise not only allowed us to completely re-frame how we view our sex lives together, but our whole marriage."
