About This Class

Who we marry is possibly the single most important and consequential choice we shall ever make. Unsurprisingly, it can lead to worry and concern that a wrong decision will be made. The problem is that the fear this can generate will interfere in one’s ability to think clearly and act wisely. For many, commitment phobia and avoidance are very real.


This class will explore where fear comes from, why it has such a hold on us, how it impacts the dating experience, and especially concepts and tools to best manage fear.
