UPCOMING RETREATS AND CONFERENCES

Recognize when your marriage  communication style is more of a problem than the actual problem you are facing

Develop the ability to feel genuine empathy for your partner instead of secret resentment

Express yourself clearly so that your thoughts and feelings can be recognized and understood without causing your spouse to feel defensive, resentful, overwhelmed, manipulated or inadequate

Avoid the mind reading that so often leads to misunderstanding between couples, and learn to avoid assumptions

Express and accept anger without destroying love

Fight in such a way that you resolve the issues at hand and actually feel closer to your spouse

Acknowledge and enjoy the differences between you and your spouse, rather than seeing him/her as a threat

Understand what went wrong in previous relationships or what is going wrong now
