| Marriage is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. There is also risk in marriage as an overall 51% divorce rate in our American society dictates. This class is meant to reduce the risk of marriage while helping you get to know yourself and your fiancé better. Hopefully by the end of this course you will feel that your relationship is enhanced, strengthened, and you will acquire some necessary building blocks for a fulfilling and passionate marriage. This Class Covers the Following: Expectations: Anger and resentment stems from unmet expectations, however people often are unable to verbally express their expectations even when asked directly. We discuss getting to heart of expectations that lie below the surface, helping couples express their desires and concerns in a loving fashion. Communication Styles: How do you communicate your feelings, desires, and frustrations? Are you passive and quiet or are you loud and demanding? The message we send isn't just in what we say; it is in how we say it, and what we leave out. You will learn your and your fiancés communication styles and how to overcome any mismatches or differences. You also discover how you respond to stress, handle anger and explore your partner*s patterns. Finally this section teaches common communication mistakes couples make and how to overcome them. Finances: *You spent how much on one pair of shoes? Please tell me there are 3 more in this bag!* Money is the number one reason most couples fight according to the latest statistics. It sounds like a very simple matter, but how you handle your money can be a very explosive issue in a marriage. You will explore spending patterns and begin to discuss and decide together how you will handle financial matters. Conflict: Conflict is inevitable, however you can learn how to handle conflict and grow from it both individually and collectively. You will learn how to make the best of conflict, how to compromise, and how to continue to show love in chaos. You will discuss your expectation of your roles, responsibilities and decision-making techniques to ease conflicts and give you a plan to fall back upon. Send For More Information |
