ONLINE: The Beauty of Conflict for Couples

How to be a ME in a WE…

Do any of these statements feel true for you?

• “We’ve got a few recurring arguments that we can’t ever seem to resolve, like who does the chores, parenting the kids, or how we spend money.”
• “We’ve been stuck together for two months straight and I love her, and she’s driving me nuts.”
• “There are topics that we just can’t and don’t talk about.”
• “I’m worried about getting back to work. I’m not afraid of the flu, but my partner doesn’t want me to go out.”
• “I feel like I’ve forgotten who I am outside of this relationship. I don’t have very many passions of my own. Everything revolves around us, our life, our home.”
• “I usually just go along with whatever my partner wants because it’s just easier that way. I don’t want to rock the boat.”

If you can relate to any one of these, this program may be a perfect opportunity to explore your patterns and beliefs around conflict and rediscover intimacy and possibility in your relationship.

Conflict doesn’t have to be a deal breaker or painful.

This program will provide concepts, tips, and tools to help you:

• be more present and grounded when conflict comes up
• have tough conversations and feel heard
• break through unproductive repetitive patterns

…so you and your partner feel more fulfilled, passionate, and alive together.

This program is ideal for:

• Seasoned couples who are tired of fighting so much, including couples experiencing the ‘quieter’ type of conflict, like boredom, apathy or a loss of sexual desire
• New couples who want to start their relationship on a strong foundation and avoid unnecessary stress and friction in the future
• Couples dealing with big challenges (infidelity, money struggles) and life’s smaller challenges too.
