Frustrating miscommunications- you feel more understood by your cute dog and Netflix's "recommendations for you" than your partner, especially around topics that are important to you
Recurring disagreements- you're not fighting about 107 different things. no, it's those same 2 or 3 disagreements that keep coming up over and over again
Power struggles- you communicate your needs in different and often conflicting ways. one of you is more assertive, and one is more reserved....and you each feel controlled or pushed by each other
Unmet needs- because of your differences, one of you doesn't get enough alone time and one doesn't get enough quality time.
Mediocre connection- your conversations are mostly to-do list, home management, kids' needs based. if you're honest, you're starting to feel more like roommates than passionate lovers
But you'll find out below that you don't throw your hands up at these obstacles!
Learn & practice the most important communication skills no one taught you.
(the #1 reason couples attend the workshop)
Better handle & share your emotions with each other.
(without creating or escalating arguments)
Discover the real thing that gets in the way of experiencing more love.
(and no, it isn't full of cliches like, "go on more dates")
Finally become better listeners, with a secret no one has told you!
(no more getting defensive or interrupting each other)
This isn't a workshop filmed on zoom in someone's home office while they're wearing sweat pants. This is a high-tech, studio filmed experience that feels like you're in person with us. It creates a day you'll never forget as a couple.
this is what the studio looks like (you'll feel like you're in the room)

And it conflicts with all of the rom-com's you've watched that portray this epic "falling head over heels in love" and living "happily ever after" storyline.
Love is not enough to guarantee that you know how to communicate for both of you to feel understood, or that you'll fight in constructive ways, or that you know how to keep love alive and well during challenging seasons.
But there's good news. Nothing is "wrong" with you, your partner, or your relationship...
You're just missing key relationship skills that none of us learned growing up.
I mean, did you have a Relationships 101 class in school?
We'd bet you a roundtrip ticket to Hawaii that you didn't (because none of us did)!
And yet, one of our biggest dreams in life is to find "the one" and build a life and a family together.
Of course, you do love each other... but your less than stellar communication easily ruins a pretty nice little Saturday (you know, going to Home Depot, and Bed Bath & Beyond...if you have time!)
The even worse thing is...you're starting to repeat those destructive habits you saw your parents do or you're becoming "that couple" you never wanted to be like.
Nothing- and we mean nothing- is more important than your willingness to learn and practice critical tools and skills as a couple. Not later, but right now!
Finally feeling understood and heard
Breakthrough any recurring frustrations, tension, or broken trust with the process to create new agreements
Having tools you can refer back to and keep practicing
Set and plan out your goals as a team, and create a new vision for your life that inspires you both (yes, you need a new vision especially because of the COVID pause)

1. You just know that you have to attend this workshop for the sake of your relationship....just go ahead to the bottom of the page and sign up.
or...
2. You know that you likely should attend this, but you're on the fence for some reason. Let's have an honest chat about that...
Could you "wait" and just keep saying, "we're so busy"? For sure you could. But are you really not going to prioritize your relationship for just 5 hours? You likely watch t.v. or movies 2x that amount each week.
Could you say "oh we know we just need to work on communication, I'll reread that one book I have on it"? Yea, but haven't you known communication is important? So why aren't you communicating better?
Could you just say, "let's just book a counseling session"? Absolutely you could. But a really good one is at least $200, and on average takes months of sessions to get to the root cause....so your bill would be at least $1200. And hundreds of couples have told us that it didn't give them tangible, step-by-step tools to implement at home....so that's a bummer.
You technically "could" give us a hundred different excuses for not just signing up and investing less the cost of a really great date night.
But a slow, dull pain eventually becomes excruciating.
Life is short, so don't you want to enjoy your time together communicating well, fighting less and experiencing more intimacy?
Of course you do!
Go ahead, reserve your seats for the sake of your relationship.
