But sometimes those relationships fall apart and end. Other times, significant people in our lives die. The feelings of pain and despair are real, and the loss of a relationship can feel devastating. This video looks at how to cope with loss, the stages of grief, and how to pick up the pieces and start living again.

Domestic Family Violence - THIS LESSON WILL BE RETIRED IN EARLY 2025 AND REPLACED WITH NEW INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE LESSONS. Family violence is about power and control. And the members of a household with the least power—the children—are often the ones most harmed, even if they aren’t the direct target of the attack. This video examines family violence and its impact on children. It defines, explains, and suggests prevention, response, and treatment approaches. Rich in cultural and content diversity, Family Violence: Impact on Children features experts, practitioners, and ordinary folks with knowledge and experience.

Pregnancy & Infant Loss - Pregnancy brings hope, dreams, and the realization that you have created life.

Sex and You - Sex is a basic human desire that plays a huge role in our lives. We’re all motivated by different reasons for having sex, but having sex can dramatically change our lives for better or for worse. As much as our culture wants to downplay the seriousness of sex, the truth is, there are always strings attached, and they affect us physically, emotionally, and spiritually. In this video, we’ll discuss the best ways to minimize the bad effects sex can have and share the secret to a great sex life. Language Warning: This video bleeps out some explicit language in the interviews. However, the understanding of the words is still apparent in the video.

The Heart of the Matter - We all desire a deep connection with another person. We want a relationship in which we are known and loved. And . . . we want to have a great sex life, too. But can you have all of this through hookups, in one-night stands, or by living with someone before marriage? Our culture says, “Yes!” In this video, we will look at how sex bonds us physically, emotionally, and spiritually with every sexual partner we have, even if they’re not “THE ONE.” We’ll look at what casual sex and constant breakups can do to our future relationships, and what it takes to find the one partner who will stick around through good times and bad.

STD/STI Avoidance - We live in a day when hooking up is as easy as a swipe to the right with no strings attached. There are friends with benefits, sex without a relationship or sex to keep one, sex as a way to get to know someone, sex to get what you want, and sex to forget someone you love. But is this really true? Can we really just have sex with no strings attached? In this video, we’ll explore the physical consequences of casual sex, how to truly protect yourself from STIs, and how to have great sex! Language Warning: This video bleeps out some explicit language in the interviews. However, the understanding of the words is still apparent in the video.

Choosing Marriage - Many in our culture today view marriage as inconvenient and costly—outdated, unattainable, and maybe even the stuff of fantasy. Many have a “try before you buy” motto about relationships. But does this really get you to where you want to be—in a relationship with the guy who wants to spend the rest of his life with you? In this video, we will explore all that and discuss the best way to find “the one” who will commit to you, promise to love you, and be there for you no matter what. Language Warning: This video bleeps out some explicit language in the interviews. However, the understanding of the words is still apparent in the video. Topics include: • choosing marriage • the exact opposite • marriage is different • making the choice • deep connections • lifelong bonds • one night stands • hookups • living together • cohabitation • toxic relationships • marriage is better • setting boundaries • defining relationship goals. ©2019

Making the Commitment - Finding the right partner to live life with is both valuable and worth putting in the time and effort for! Commitment and determination, if you stick with it, will net you the kind of love you want—the kind that puts you first and keeps you first forever. But commitment isn’t easy. In this video, we’ll explore why it’s important, what it means, and how you can do it. We’ll show you a great plan that will get you on the road to a happier life—and better sex. You can make the commitment. Language Warning: This video bleeps out some explicit language in the interviews. However, the understanding of the words is still apparent in the video.

Reclaiming Your Value & Experiencing Healthy Relationships - Do you recognize your value and your worth? When you truly feel worthy, you will begin to say “no” to the abuse in your life. How do you get there after your self-worth was damaged? In this lesson, we will teach you about how God values you, and how believing this truth will change your life.
