Love Is Not Enough
Our message here is simple: LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH!--at least for the long-term. Every long-term relationship also requires particular strategies, skills and knowledge to keep the love, passion, friendship and commitment strong over your lifetime. The tools we demonstrate and teach in the class will make it easier to address whatever issue you face as a couple, now and in the years ahead.
Want some hardcore evidence of the effectiveness of skill-based marriage preparation? Three studies--one in Denver, one in Germany and one in Minnesota-- have shown that if you integrate particular skills such as communication, conflict resolution and intimacy enhancement into your relationship now DURING THE "MAGIC WINDOW" OF YOUR EARLY MARRIAGE, you set a direction for your marriage that can reduce your chance of divorce by 30%!
Remember that the first five years of marriage are the most challenging--especially if you plan to have children--because you will need to transition from a idealized dating relationship to a multi-faceted partnership that will inevitably surface your individual differences. While this transition is normal, many couples have trouble making the necessary adjustments. Resolving your differences effectively allows your relationship to become established in a more functional way which is essential for the type of egalitarian marriages that most couples want today. Leading marital researchers like John Gottman and Howard Markman are saying these skill-based pre-marital workshops are the best way to DIVORCE-PROOF YOUR MARRIAGE.
