COUPLES COMMUNICATION CLASSES

The Couples Communication Class is a research-based approach to teaching couples (premarital, committed, or married) how to communicate effectively, manage conflicts without damaging closeness, and how to preserve and enhance commitment, friendship and intimacy. The premise is that it's not how much you love each other that makes a relationship or marriage work; it's how you resolve differences and preserve fun and sensuality that keeps a relationship strong. This one-day course uses teaching, videos, role-plays, group discussions and private coaching to educate couples in an atmosphere of informality and comfort. Participants will learn how to:

• Communicate Effectively;
• Manage Conflicts;
• Preserve & Enhance Commitment, Friendship & Intimacy.
