•  Are you passionate in helping married couples to grow?
•  Are you keen to mentor young couples in your community?
•  Do you want to be involved in building marriages?
•  Do you want to serve together with your spouse?

Come and be equipped to conduct the face-to-face couple conversation technique for couples. This is a technique that can be applied to enhance the relationship of a couple and to stabilize couples who are facing challenges in their relationships.

It is simple to use, yet powerful in connecting the two persons in a marriage emotionally. The basis of this approach is based on building a secured and safe relationship between a couple as hundreds of studies now show that positive loving connections with one’s spouse protects us from stress and helps us cope better with life’s challenges and traumas. The conversation will also help a couple create a positive atmosphere in their relationships.

Please note that this training must be attended by husband and wife together.

Face-to-face couple conversation achieves the followings in the relationship:

• Connect heart to heart

• Experience the transformative power of empathy, mutual respect and compassion

• Express, listen to and understand emotions

• Create a shared environment of emotional openness and honesty

• Reveal hidden expectations to avoid assumptions and misunderstandings

• Resolve conflict constructively

• Bond through emotional openness and physical closeness

A couple will experience these when they fully participate in the couple conversation:

• Restored, renewed, and revitalized relationships
• Higher levels of relationship satisfaction
• Reduced symptoms of distress and anxiety
• Greater commitment to a shared vision of healthy relationships
• Increased resilience built on improved quality of marriages, families and relationships
