- The differences in the way couples function – this is initially what attracts people together but tends to cause conflict & communication breakdown after the romantic period starts to wear off.
- How to deal with conflict and learn how to negotiate through the problems that arise so that there is a win-win outcome for both partners.
- Expectations – are you both on the same page and if not negotiate through this.
- Understanding basics such as Love Languages and how these can build a healthy relationship.
- Understanding Unbearable Feelings, Welds and Echos and how these can affect a relationship.
- Developing skills such as “Intentional Conversations” as a tool to develop intimacy and understanding.
- Looking at the concept of trust in the relationship.
