Workshops provide tools to help couples:

  • Improve friendship, fondness, and admiration
  • Enhance romance and intimacy

When asked what they learned from this course, participants said:

“I often think about how you helped us through our troubled time and just want to thank you again. Our relationship has grown better and better by the years because of our meetings with you, learning to communicate, and of course staying out of trouble on my end.”

 

“Just wanted to let you know there’s been marked improvement after just one session. It was difficult to say all the things I had to say but helpful that you were there as a third-party. My husband also feels encouraged. Even though it’s difficult to deal with these things, I think it will be extremely helpful, especially in light of our family issues. There were a few instances where he already rephrased things and I responded positively.”

 

“An eminently practical guide to an emotionally intelligent-and long-lasting marriage.”
