Before (and after) the wedding, comes the relationship

What Are The Goals?

• Strengthen Relationships with measurable self-reported goals

• Foster Community Support and Normalize Experiences

Is This For Us?

• YES - Pairs well with therapy

  • In a relationship, engagement or marriage

  • Wish to enhance a relationship or marriage

  • Desire to improve conflict management

• NO - Consider Couples Therapy

  • Severe relationship distress, abuse or violence

  • Active addictions or mental health problems

  • Looking for a Jerry Springer style marriage bootcamp

What’s In It For Us?

• Structure, motivation and accountability to follow the process in partnership and achieve goals

• Sense of community with couples you can choose to share with and learn from

• Enrichment approach that may feel more accessible than couple’s therapy (this is not therapy but it can soften consideration for therapy, which we recommend!)

• Enlightening environment for pre-marital couples to learn more about themselves, each other and the relationship

FAQ

• Will we have to share our personal problems and issues with the class?

  • No, couples exercises are done privately.

• Must both partners attend or can I come alone?

  • Both partners should attend and participate, however for longer-term workshops, if one partner is unavailable, the other may attend and take the couple exercises home to do between classes.

• My partner isn’t a reader. Can we still participate if they won’t read the book?

  • Yes. The book provides valuable material and the workshop lectures summarize the same content. The Couples Guide should be read and actively utilized.

• Should we do the exercises in the book at home or save them for class?

  • Some of the exercises will be guided in class and any further exercises per module can be practiced at home after the class has covered the foundational material.
