Celebration of Marriage
Dr. Tim Thayne will be the key presenter at the Lehi Celebration of Marriage on Tuesday, February 14, 2012
The Lehi Community Council invites you to celebrate marriage on Tuesday, February 14 from 7:00 to 8:30.
The theme is “Five Vehicles for a Vintage Marriage” and the keynote presenter will be Dr. Tim Thayne, Founder/Executive Director of Homeward Bound.
The annual Celebration of Marriage event will be held in the rotunda at the Mountainland Applied Technology College (MLATC) located at 2301 West Ashton Boulevard, Lehi, Utah 84043 (behind Thanksgiving Point).
The cost is $5 per person payable at the door. There is no online registration.
Reservations may be made by calling 801-768-2596 or e-mailing lehimarriage2012@gmail.com.
Because seating is limited to the first 100 people, reservations must be made in advance and you must receive a confirmation number via e-mail. No confirmation numbers will be given over the phone.
According to Dr. Thayne, everything vintage is in. You see it in clothes, jewelry, furniture, music, etc. In this 90 minute workshop, Dr. Thayne will discuss, challenge, and have members of the audience contribute their thoughts on what makes a Vintage Marriage a Valuable Marriage.
Come prepared to:
1. Celebrate milestones and plan for longevity in your commitment
2. Be honest about your strengths and weaknesses as a couple
3. Ask questions and envision your own “Happily Ever After” story
This year, the format will be more of an interactive, hands-on workshop, rather than a straightforward lecture. Bring your own note taking tools and come prepared to actively participate.
This event is sponsored by the Lehi Community Council which sponsors Lehi Marriage Week, Lehi Family Week, Interfaith Celebration and monthly meetings to promote and solution challenges we all face in the Lehi and surrounding areas.

About Tim R. Thayne, Ph.D.
Founder/Executive Director of Homeward Bound
Dr. Tim Thayne was raised in the Uinta Basin of Utah around a large extended family. After earning his Bachelors and Master’s degrees from BYU in Marriage and Family Therapy, Tim went on to receive his Ph.D. from Virginia Tech.
Coming back to Utah with his family, he cofounded a wilderness teen treatment program West of Lehi named Outback Therapeutic Expeditions. He was frustrated with the dangerous gap between quality treatment programs and the challenges awaiting teens at home, he pioneered nationwide in-home aftercare services, and Homeward Bound was born in 2005.
Tim and his team of adventurous coaches also created an online tool for parents and professionals called Family Bridge that is used in dozens of programs today.
Tim’s passion and expertise has always centered around couples and family systems. He has great skill and insight into how different members of a family all contribute to the vicious and virtuous cycles in the home.
In his spare time, Tim enjoys training horses, running his cattle and pork company–Paisley Farms–and working alongside his five great children and wife Roxanne.
