You and Your Partner Can Break the Miscommunication Cycle

It's not often that you hear someone say, “My partner understands me—I want a divorce.” At the deepest level, most individuals do not feel understood by their partners. Well-intentioned promises of love and devotion erode when we express genuine feelings that our partners perceive as criticism. We may find ourselves hiding our true feelings and walking on eggshells around the one person with whom we are supposed to be the most intimate.

The result: Couples remain legally married but psychologically divorced, developing a silent deal that may look too much like our parents’ relationship and not enough like the initial promise we made to one another at the outset of our relationship.

Reignite Passion Without Sacrificing Stability

Break this destructive cycle with the help of Dr. Warren Farrell during this intensive couples' workshop. You will learn:

  • Modified active listening techniques to avoid communication pitfalls.
  • How to develop conflict-free zones for honest communication with your partner.
  • How to replace the fear of criticism with an atmosphere of positive associations.

Once you master these communication skills with your partner, Farrell will help you apply them to your relationships with your children, co-workers, and parents.

The longer weekend format is designed to provide plenty of time for spa treatments and and unwinding—keeping work and play in balance.

The success of these workshops allows Dr. Farrell to guarantee a 100% program fee refund to any couple who do not feel they have substantially improved their communication and deepened their love.
