Historically in the Western world, one model for long-term relationships has been the companionable marriage. Passion and deep emotional connection were for lovers, not spouses.
In the latter part of the 20th century, we woke up and began wanting more from relationships. The new paradigm is a truly intimate marriage intellectually, physically and emotionally. These new demands fly in the face of our historical experiences and expectations, often creating conflict. Traditional therapy does not always resolve that conflict. This program presents a new skill set for couples who want fulfilling relationships.
In this program you learn:
- Why so many current relationships are not ‘truly intimate’ relationships
- How partners can use a “Relationship Grid” to visualize and implement positive feedback to one another
- How you can get what you want, give what your partner needs, and have the great relationship you deserve
