We believe one of the reasons couples lose emotional intimacy or get stuck in perpetual conflict is simply that we lack of education and training in this important area of our lives. We are more than willing to train for marathons, seek education to further our careers, or visit a financial advisor to guide us in our investments. But most of us enter into committed partnerships with virtually no training or tools at our disposal.

In this class you will learn to:

Deepen your knowledge of one another

Build friendship and trust

Recognize and respond to bids for emotional connection

Be open to your partner’s influence

Understand and manage both solvable and difficult problems

Get through gridlocked conflict

Create shared meaning and support each other’s life goals

Maintain gains throughout a lifetime

 

This workshop is appropriate for:

Couples contemplating engagement

Pre-marital couples

Couples in the early or middle stage of their marriage or committed partnership

Couples married for decades
