WHAT IS THE COUPLES COMMUNICATION COURSE? The Weekend Retreats is a 5-hour, weekend course for couples of all ages. It is safe, fun, educational, and reasonably priced. It can actually change your life by helping you and your partner become happier and more successful as a couple. It consists of four skills that each couple needs to learn in order to get through the tough decisions in life, such as money, sex, children, in-laws, and intimacy. We actually teach you and your partner a language for coupling better, and give you ways to practice this language during the weekend with each other. We also teach you the very latest research about how to couple better, so that you can stop fighting with one another, learn to listen to your partner, and feel better understood in your relationship. You will go through a series of exercises designed to teach and develop skills for happy, successful coupling. You will take home a workbook filled to the brim with helpful and necessary coupling skills and information. If you care enough about your relationship to maintain and improve communications with your partner, this is the place to come! Our leaders have been helping couples build wonderful relationships for over 30 years. They won't analyze or 'fix' your relationship. They will simply give you and your partner the skills you need to improve your relationship yourselves. WHO'S IT FOR? Any and every couple can benefit from The Weekend Retreats. The Weekend Retreats is for anyone who is either married, engaged, or intimately partnered. It is a session for all couples, who are committed to each other and want to build a stronger, longer lasting relationship together. Gay, lesbian and heterosexual couples of all ages and economic levels work at The Weekend Retreats side by side to learn to couple better. Part of the fun is seeing who is in your class and chatting with them. It is not necessary for you to disclose embarrassing personal information during this weekend, since we know that personal information is, indeed, personal. Instead, we form an educational community where you can learn about coupling. WHAT DO YOU LEARN? We will teach you the four basic skills necessary for successful coupling: Identifying Feelings, Active Listening, Negotiation, and Problem Solving. More advanced skills, such as dealing with anger, sensuality, or financial management, will build upon the four basic skills in advanced weekend courses. TO GIVE THE WEEKEND AS A GIFT Many parents give this weekend to their children, who are getting engaged. Even adult children give the weekend to their parents, who are unaware of how much better their marriage could be. And, of course, partners give this to one another for birthdays, Valentine's Day, and the like. Please call us and we can arrange a gift certificate for you. It is a wonderful gift to give to kids or to their parents who have been married for decades. It is the gift of future happiness. There is no better gift. |
