Start Right, Stay Connected: A Workshop for Couples Beginning Their Journey
The premarital and pre-commitment workshop Start Right, Stay Connected is an excellent way for couples who are engaged, in a long-term relationship, or newly married to invest in the health of their partnership. Presented in a fun and interactive way, this workshop focuses on practical relationship skills. You will be able to enjoy the company of other couples while maintaining privacy — all exercises are done independently. This one-day workshop, Start Right, Stay Connected is relationship education, not therapy, and includes video lectures, couple’s dialogues practice, and written exercises.Participants will learn concrete tools to lay the groundwork for a conscious, fulfilling and lifelong commitment, including:
- Communication skills through the Imago Dialogue
- Practical tools to deal with conflict
- Ways to nurture connection and intimacy
- Powerful and effective communication skills
- Tools for relationship “hot buttons”
- Effective conflict resolution
- How to remove negativity from the relationship
- How to affair-proof your marriage
- How to keep the romance alive & enhance sexual intimacy
Premarital education presents an opportunity for couples to identify and resolve differences that can later cause conflict, understand each other at a deeper level, and learn skills that can help their marriage last a lifetime. Research shows that premarital education can reduce the risk of divorce by 30 percent.
Cost: $395 per couple
