Dr Mike goes back to The Exchange!

Grab your girlfriends,
mark your calendar for August 24th,
get your tickets (I would encourage you to buy a table so your seat will be reserved!)
come ready to learn about s*x and marriage in a whole new way!

Six years ago, Dr. Mike (licensed counselor, certified s*x therapist, ordained minister, professor and national speaker) came to The Exchange for the first time. I was hesitant to bring in a s*x therapist, let alone… (gasp) A MAN! But immediately, I knew that women and their marriages NEEDED this content and that he was the PERFECT one to deliver the information. He has been back to The Exchange three other times and on each occasion, offered more compassion, more depth and more wisdom.
It is with IMMENSE JOY to be able to bring back, not only Dr. Mike, but also best selling author, social researcher and speaker, Shaunti Feldhahn.
Please join us as they unpack their new book, Secrets of S*x and Marriage and eight simple, transformational factors to help you move from disconnection to delight.
