Whether you're engaged, newly married, or have been together for years, this conference will equip you with actionable insights to strengthen your relationship and build a healthier partnership. In this interactive conference the format includes lectures and individual couple exercises where you and your partner will learn proven tools to (1) improve friendship; (2) develop fondness and admiration; (3) enhance romance and intimacy; (4) learn how to manage conflict constructively; (5) gain skills to address perpetual and solvable problems; (6) create shared meaning; (7) maintain gains throughout a lifetime. Frequently Asked Questions 1. Will we have to share personal problems and issues with the conference? The conference does not include sharing problems or issues publicly. Couple exercises are done privately. 2. Must both partners attend or can I come alone? Since the conference involves couples doing exercises together, both partners must participate.
