    Marriage is hard, divorce is harder!

    Are you having difficulties communicating and understanding each other? Are you stuck, arguing over the same issues without end, while the respect and admiration is in decline? Maybe you’re in a good relationship and want to safeguard your love against the challenges which come with marriage, children, in-laws and work? Research shows that on average, couples wait six years from the first sign of problems before they seek help. That’s like waiting six years being ill without seeking treatment. Please don’t wait until your relationship is falling apart!

    Is This Seminar Right for You?

    This seminar is ideal for:

    • Engaged or newly married couples
    • Couples in long-term relationships looking to reconnect
    • Partners navigating transitions, communication challenges or conflict style mismatch

    • Those exploring the idea of couples therapy but not quite ready for weekly sessions

    • Any couple seeking evidence-based tools to build a lasting bond

    • People of all ages, backgrounds, faiths, and sexual orientations

    • Those looking to soften their interactions and want tools to be heard, validated and speak about their needs

    Please note: If your relationship involves emotional abuse, domestic violence, unwanted physical contact, or substance abuse, this seminar is not appropriate. We recommend seeking individual or couples therapy instead.

    We encourage you to stay home during the lunch break, so plan ahead by prepping your meal and snacks in advance. It’s a great opportunity to connect and reflect on what you’ve learned so far.

    For everyone’s benefit, please arrange ahead of time for childcare, pet care, and to pause any work-related obligations, so you can fully participate and respect the experience of all attending couples.

    Privacy and presence make all the difference!

    Is this therapy?

    No, this class is a psycho-educational program and does not replace couples’ therapy. The focus is on learning practical skills rather than discussing private moments in your personal lives.

    No, sharing personal problems or issues publicly is not part of the class. Couples exercises are conducted privately, ensuring your confidentiality.

    What if we haven't read the "7 Principles" book?

    Absolutely! The class lectures comprehensively cover the content.  You may choose to read the book at your own pace.

    Do we have to speak or have the camera on?
