In this workshop you will learn to…

  • Resolve cycles of anger and blaming
  • Get to the root of your problems and dissolve them
  • Create romance, passion and fun
  • Listen non-defensively
  • Speak in a way your partner can hear you
  • Show your partner empathy and compassion
  • Respect your partner's point of view even if you don't agree
  • Deepen your intimacy and connection
  • Express appreciation for your partner
  • Become your partners best friend
  • Create the relationship of your dreams!

The format of the workshop includes demonstrations, couple's dialogue, lectures, written exercises and guided imagery. Techniques are demonstrated first, then couples practice these skills privately. These practice opportunities are extremely helpful because couples can immediately apply the skills when they return home. 

The workshop addresses two sides of the relationship. One branch includes issues, problems and conflicts, and the other encompasses fun stuff: romance, caring behaviors, high and low energy fun, passion and your positive relationship vision.

There are opportunities for group sharing, but the workshop emphasizes partners sharing privately with one another. No self-disclosure is required; all work is done in private! Although couples come together in a group to hear these presentations, sharing is done only with your partner, as confidentiality is maintained throughout the workshop. These workshops are kept small to create a relaxed, secure, and fun environment.


This workshop is appropriate for you if…

  • You are thinking about marriage or remarrying and you really want to ensure this one will work
  • You have a good relationship that needs to be revitalized
  • You are having difficulty in your relationship and need tools and skills to better communicate and manage conflict
  • You are near a breakup or divorce and want to decide if the relationship can be saved or not
