Brand New Course! FOUNDATIONS FOR COUPLES
BRAND NEW COURSE!
This just in: there’s a new course in town and it’s designed specifically for couples.
We’re so excited to introduce Foundations for Couples, a six-hour, four session course that’s led in-person with (ideally) one to four couples. The course can be run in four separate sessions or as a weekend intensive, depending on how schedules align.
We’re particularly thrilled about this course because it’s the first time we’ve adapted the classic Values, Vision, and Goals material specifically for the context of a couple, and added content from our training and experience in leading marriage small groups. Exercises and topics covered:
The “Us” Concept
Understanding Our Pain Responses
The Pain Cycle
Understanding Our Truth
The Peace Cycle
The Four Steps (how to get from the Pain Cycle to the Peace Cycle)
The Circle for Couples
The Wheel of Life
Core Values: Yours, Mine, and Ours
Creating a Ten-Year Vision
Crafting a Household Mission Statement
The material we cover is organized into four 90-minute sessions that can be extended over 4 weeks or longer, or can be condensed into a weekend intensive such as an offsite camping trip or a weekend retreat.
The material plays equally well in a premarital or couples counseling setting as in a large group format (such as a church retreat).
