Couples

This course is for couples about to get married or enter a committed relationship.

The course offers a chance for couples to look at their relationship before entering long-term commitment together. It provides an opportunity to learn about how relationships work and how they fail, and to learn new relationship skills. The couple will have a chance to participate in-group discussions with other couples at a similar life stage. There will be also be opportunities to practice skills and share concerns.

We select our trainers for their interpersonal skills as well as their training ability. Our trainers create an environment where they encourage and enable course participants to join in group discussions and activities. The students are actively involved in the learning process and have full opportunity to raise concerns and practice skills.
