"What I first learned was that this class was not at all foolish, instead, it was very educational.  I have learned that everyone has the right to make their own decisions."

"I am at peace with myself and my wife.  This allows for life's little things to seem a little smaller and the big things are not nearly what they seemed to be.  It is such a blessing to see life so differently.  I now think before I react and now I also have a heart and a conscience."

"I feel that through this class I have learned way more about myself than I ever thought I would."

"I respect everyone who has come through this class.  I think we are all better men from the lessons we have taken from FVIP.  Remember, love begins where violence ends."

"Communication is very important.  It's not just about talking…it's also about listening."

"I learned from FVIP to be more patient and understanding both at home and at work.  I have shared this with my friends and fellow workers."

"This class has given me more options with dealing with not just home life, but also with things that go on outside of the home."

"I learned to use better judgment in my decision making."

"I learned to respect my partner, what to do, and what to say when disagreements occur.  Sometimes what you say can be just as bad as what you do."

"We are all here for the same reason.  Violence and that's what we have to stop.  I know this class did me a lot of good.  Thanks to the guys for the advice."

"I've learned to be more understanding by just listening to her feelings and being respectful of them and her."

"Early into the program, I got into a situation at home.  I handled it very well knowing that I had choices and different ways to go."

"The roles of a male and female are treating each other equally and making sure both partners are comfortable in the relationship."
