Four-Week Seminar on the Prerequisites for
Relationship Success
(Click here for
a Flyer about the Four-Week Seminar Series)
Everybody has an idea about what it takes to have a
satisfying marriage, but for the first time in history, we have solid,
empirical evidence about what it actually takes to make a marriage work.
Through a series of ground-breaking studies in which
thousands of couples were followed over the course of their
relationships, researchers have discovered exactly what people who
succeed in their marriages do different than people who fail.
Researchers identified a crucial set of emotional habits that lead to
satisfying relationships in over 90% of people that have been studied.

This information is slowly filtering into public
awareness, but most people still don’t know what the prerequisites for
relationship success are. In this practical, information-packed, 4-week
seminar, you’ll learn how people who get their partners to treat them
well go about doing it. You’ll develop a thorough understanding of the
crucial set of habits that lead to satisfying relationships. By the end
of this seminar series, you will know, at least in theory, what the most
effective reaction to any challenging relationship situation is. Of
course, knowing what you need to change is one thing, doing it is
another, especially at the moments when you’re upset. Studies show that
when we get upset, most of us react in highly predictable, “knee jerk”
ways. In this seminar, you’ll also learn about new brain discoveries that
have unlocked the secret of how “knee jerk” habits can be changed, and
you’ll learn how to translate this knowledge into practical strategies
for developing new habits of your own.
This 4-week class will be conducted in a seminar
and discussion format. Video segments of couples who are upset with each
other will be used to illustrate effective habits and the most common
ineffective alternatives. Whether you attend alone or with someone you’re in a
relationship with, this seminar series will give you the basic knowledge
you need to operate more effectively in your relationships.
