The Roadmap To Change

We believe your relationship can thrive. We believe your relationship can become masterful. We believe well over 50% of your challenge is simply lack of skills.

One of the major shifts that the Getting the Love You Want Couples Weekend can bring to the world is the understanding that necessary relationship skills come through challenge and effort. Especially if you’ve never seen a competent, successful relationship. Have you? Most of us haven’t. You probably never learned those skills in school. Where would you expect to have gleaned this important knowledge?

We maintain that the weekend retreat setting is the fastest way to learn these skills. We are firm believers that the Couples Weekends provide a six-month leap in the experience of competency in a relationship. It is invaluable to have the opportunity to learn and grow together as relational beings, as a couple and in a community in a setting that makes learning and growing fun and normalized. Many couples walk away from the weekend say, I now don’t feel so alone.

As adults, we are not prone to willingly reach out to gain new skills. Our life experiences have taught us that wanting and gaining new skills is not an exciting and interesting experience. Those of us, who like to learn new skills, and go after them, have had good life experiences being a novice. Unfortunately, many of us think we should hide or stay away from anything we are not good at already.

We speak frequently of the importance of understanding the willingness to make a change and the ability to make a change. We tell our couples that they can’t effectively decide whether they want to make a change in their relationship, unless first they know how to make a change. The Getting the Love You Want Couples Weekend Retreats give you the how, the roadmap, and the help.

Couples that decide not to pursue the roadmap once they know how to make a change, have good reasons. These reasons are to be respected. Sometimes, resistance is driven by an avoidance of addressing our own ineptitudes and failures, but diving into these areas can lead us into much greater competency and success. 

All the struggles in relationships can be wound down to a single problem: how to navigate our differences. Shifting our mindset to a place of curiousity about our differences instead of terror, can help us find a bridge to one another. It can instill the belief that synergy is possible. We are convinced that investing one’s resources to gather skills, consciousness, and hope should be a requirement of any relationship.

Come and get the skills! Enjoy yourself while you do it!! Think of yourself as improving you, your relationships, and the whole world you touch.
