The Third Option is a 14 session program that runs weekly with one section covered per week. Topics include:

• Respect
• Responsibility
• Understanding Expectations
• Re-Defining The Power Struggle
• Control Issues
• Listening Beyond The Words
• Personality Differences
• Childhood Issues and Emotional Baggage
• Handling Anger Constructively
• Speaking The Truth In Love
• Conflict Resolution - Fighting Fair
• Feelings And The Hurt Spiral
• Forgiveness And Repair
• Re-Building Trust

‍

‍

The Third Option is unique in several ways that make it so successful.

• First: Since no section is really built on any other, you can enter the program at any time! That means you don't have to wait for up to 13 weeks for the program to start again if you missed week 1. You can, for example, join at week 7 and finish after week 6.
• Second: You can attend alone! If your spouse wants to join you, great! But, if not, you can begin go through the weekly workshops by yourself, learning truly valuable skills for relationship as you go. And maybe your spouse will follow later.

‍

‍

You can expect a warm, welcoming, non-judgmental atmosphere where you will be free to work on YOU.

The Third Option Bay County will be taught by individuals and couples who have years of experience working with people in this community on marriage. People who are truly passionate about helping individuals and couples to improve in their communication and in their relationships.​

So, expect to learn, improve and become a MUCH better you, all in a supportive and caring environment.

Where: Camp Timpoochee, 4750 Timpoochee Lane, Niceville, FL 32578.

Keynote Speaker: We are thrilled to announce that Fr. Louis Merosne will be our keynote speaker at this year’s Catholic Men’s Retreat! Born in Haiti and raised in Boston, MA, Fr. Louis brings a powerful story of faith, mission, and service. A graduate of the Franciscan University of Steubenville, where he earned both a Bachelor’s and Master’s in Philosophy, French, and Theology, he has dedicated his life to spreading the Gospel and serving the poor.

Fr. Louis is the pastor of the Cathedral of Saint Anne in Anse-à-Veau, Haiti, and serves on his bishop’s council as an episcopal vicar. He is also an international speaker, known for his passion for Christ, devotion to Mary, and love for the Church. Through his leadership with Haiti180, Mission to the Beloved, and the Francis Integral Development Foundation, he has made an incredible impact both in Haiti and abroad by promoting human dignity and fostering hope.

His message is sure to inspire and challenge us as men to deepen our faith, embrace our mission as disciples, and live with purpose. Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to hear from a priest who has lived a life of radical trust in God’s providence and mission.

The words you say and the words you hear have the power to shape your entire life. And the more sobering thing—the reason for this study—is that your words have the power to shape other people's lives too.

Before you open your mouth again, learn:

• The words you need to hear from others.

• The words your loved ones need from you.

• The words you're most likely to use as weapons.

• The words that will wound your loved ones.

The I Said This, You Heard That® series of resources will change every conflict and conversation you have—for good. ​The workbook includes a 40-question assessment, discussion questions, exercises and reading that complement six sessions of teaching videos.

Participants will need to purchase their own workbook prior to the first meeting:   https://www.isaidyouheard.study/shop
