Solution for Couples

This popular 6-week course does not require a prerequisite of Wired for Joy, although doing so is recommended.

Although couples take this course together, the primary focus is NOT on their relationship. It’s on training each individual to acquire the tools to be intimate with others. After all, we can’t control the behavior of another person – or change them – but we can control how effective we are at doing our part to create intimacy.

On a weekly basis, couples try out skills that impact emotional closeness, sensual pleasure and having a good time together – loving companionship. There is something for everyone, and people complete this course with a better understanding of how to use the tools in relationships and, specifically, with more insight into themselves and their relationship.

Here is a partial list of activities:

  • Learning how to open the emotional pipeline with your partner.
  • Taking 10 minutes daily to emotionally connect
  • Using The Zero Tolerance Tool to prevent ineffective conflict
  • Using the Solution Sandwich Matrix to make effective requests.
  • Exploring your sexual style and consider experimenting with a new style to enhance your sensual pleasure.
  • Having clarity about the light side and dark side of your relationship and how to honor the light side and set loving limits with the dark side.
  • Enjoying a novel "date night" weekly.

Tips for Success:

  • Your partner may not want to do this. Ask him or her what they would need from you to give it a try.
  • If the relationship is in crisis, first consult a mental health professional.
  • This course can be completed on your own, with telephone coaching from a Solution Provider or in local groups or telegroups. The group experiences are refreshing, because it’s clear that nearly everyone finds relationships challenging. However, it’s important to get the support that is right for you.
  • Appreciate that in only 6 weeks you can learn powerful tools; with relationships, even small changes can be met with tremendous relief and hope!

This 8-week course’s kit includes: Solution for Couples, 3 Solution Pocket Reminders and 3 months of membership in the Solution Internet Community.
