Learn about solutions!
This 6 week psycho-educational workshop describes the common-but-difficult challenges all relationships face and offers proven strategies to overcome these difficulties.
A step by step program that teaches you how to neutralize your relationship problems and implement positive habits that will change the way you and your partner interact.
You will learn:
· The natural and predictable stages that all relationships go through. The purpose of each stage will be explained and you will be shown how to navigate these stages successfully to preserve the passion in your marriage.
· The root of conflict and stress in relationships and research-based strategies and tools to help you successfully manage conflict.
· The 7 principles that make a relationship work based on the latest and most scientific research in marriage counselling.
· The 10 key patterns that harm relationships and the antidotes you can apply to preserve goodwill and respect as a couple.
· The 3 essential qualities to become an effective partner.
· How to deepen your friendship and intimacy.
You will understand:
· The secrets of the "masters" and "disasters" of relationships.
· Why conflict is not only normal but necessary and why the absence of conflict can be dangerous.
· Why being "in love" is not enough to make your marriage work.
· How lack of sexual desire and boredom are natural challenges of intimate relationships and not dysfunctions.
· The practical ways to get your needs met.
· What it really means when you feel like you "love your partner but are not in love".
This is not a therapy group.
The format is organized so that couples will share with each other in a safe environment.
You won't be asked to share or disclose personal information in front of other participants.
