What people are saying about The Couples Course: "I really enjoyed hearing and learning from other couples, the open, sharing environment, the combination of theory and movement and practice, the mix of working as couples and sharing as a group. I appreciate the genuine wish to share what you've learned, your willingness to share your own relationship journey, the very easeful way with which you invite people to participate in learning or deepening their exploration of things that come up." J.W. "This course should be taken before marriage. You are both great people with great abilities to relax people and remove the fear of looking at one self." P.T. " I really enjoyed doing this in a group setting. A group setting permits a little anonymous space for reflection while at the same time supporting and being supported by others." An Appreciative Participant "The course combines vital skills for effective and compassionate communications between life partners with fun and humour which allows eachof us to offload some of our heavy baggage and as a result, rekindle our hope, faith and love in the intimate relationships we have chosen to be in. I really enjoyed the open and honest sharing among such a lovely diverse collection of couples ... we didn't feel so alone or so foolish in our struggles." Michelle Meyer, N.D. "You two seem to have a lighter way to handle almost any issue that couple-dom brings up. Facing issues with your help is more fun that facing them alone." Celeste Susan Vermette "What a wonderful surprise to experience relationship learning in such a fun environment. I truly appreciate your openness and willingness to share your own life's lessons for it is very disarming and encourages us to participate fully." Lynn M. McDaniels “This course allowed me to identify the things that were preventing me from having the relationship that I want…. If you are interested in finding an alternative to a relationship dominated by blame and withholding, the Couples Course provides the tools.” Steve T. “The course supported us to change some of our outdated patterns of relating to each other. As a result of this increased awareness there was a significant improvement in our ability to love and appreciate each other... Thank you both again for the last 10 weeks. I know I am raising my capacity for love, authenticity and joy at amazing speed which directly impacts positively on my significant relationships. I am so grateful to you both for being instrumental in that.” S. Williams “Bob & Marlene are generous & open. They create an atmosphere that is full of laughter. As a student, I felt inspired by their examples from their own relationship – not in the distant past, but today!” Jane Keeler "This course was a huge eye-opener for me and had a profound affect on my view and approach to relationships of all kinds. ... I highly recommend this course to anyone who values and wants to enhance their relationship. It provides a new method of communication, promotes independence, understanding, and acceptance and the end result for me was a deeper bond and appreciation for my partner." Lynn M. McDaniel "Marlene & Bob, I really appreciated the way that you held space for lots of "big" stuff to happen - and did so in a way that opened up the shared learning between everyone." J.W. |
