Build Your Foundation: A 6-Week Online Program Towards

Creating a Fulfilling Life Together

Build Your Foundation, is a 6-week online premarital education course for young, modern couples. We will explore tools necessary to sustain a strong and fulfilling marriage.  By building your toolbox now, you’ll be equipped to navigate the occasionally rough waters of relationships, arriving at the shore of connectedness. 

Our romanticized version of marriage says that a happy marriage is one that never fights, is always “in-love,” and is some how just perfect without any TLC. 

Yet reality says that it takes a little bit (okay, A LOT) of work, you won’t always agree, and it’s really really important to give at least as much TLC to your partnership as you do your career, your children, etc.

No one gets married expecting to get divorced, so it’s crucial that you learn the TOOLS and KNOWLEDGE to make it work!  It’s not a matter of if you disagree, fight, get frustrated, feel lacking, it’s simply a matter of how you handle it. 

Developing and practicing effective techniques for getting through challenges as a team NOW will aid you when life starts to happen and the stressors inevitably come along.

One of the most powerful aspects of this online course is that we will utilize tools developed by leading relationship and marriage researchers such as:

• Dr. David Schnarch in Passionate Marriage
• Dr. Gay & Kathlyn Hendricks in Conscious Loving
• Dr. Marshall Rosenberg in Non-violent Communication

If you’re ready to dedicate love & attention towards building your fulfilling partnership, you’re in the right place!

How it works:

The “Build Your Foundation” online course is limited to 3 couples to allow for a more intimate setting and personalized attention.  We will gather each week for a 90-minute video Skype meeting to review the previous weeks’ exploration and go over the next weeks’ topics.

I’m not reinventing the wheel here, so we’ll draw from the work of top psychologist and researchers in the field of relationships through: Conscious Loving, Passionate Marriage, Fighting for Your Marriage, & Non-violent Communication.

I know you’re busy, so are not be expected to read all four books in their entirety.  However, I’ve selected the key components for building a strong foundation from each and will share all the good stuff with you.

Using excerpts and ideas from readings and exercises geared towards that week’s topic, you will gain insight into each other, grow as individuals as well as create the couple you would like to be.

During this six week course, instead of deep diving into personal issues you might face as a couple, we begin to create a strong foundation by addressing the broader topics of connecting and communicating.  Once you master these foundational topics, discussions over finances, in-laws, children, relocations, frustrations, desires, etc., become avenues to put your toolbox into practice.
