Couples Workshop: “To Love…To Honor…To Negotiate”

Overview:
We enter our relationships with the best of intentions.
What people don’t tell you is your relationship is more than just you and your partner. Your relationship has three parts: you, your partner and the relationship itself.
Even the best relationships need advanced skills that help them communicate and connect on a deeper level. That’s why understanding the nonverbals of communication can help you:
This couples communication workshop is for couples of all orientations, no matter how long you’ve been together. If you want to learn how to make your relationship feel easier, this series is for you!
*Please note that these sessions will be recorded and used in the future as a model*
