Four-Week Seminar: The Prerequisites for Relationship Success

A series of landmark studies in the past three decades have identified exactly what people who succeed in their intimate relationships do differently than those who fail. Researchers discovered a core set of emotional habits that that are so powerfully positive that, when people have them, they end up having satisfying long-term relationships over 90% of the time. This kind of predictive validity is virtually unheard of in most branches of science, and has captured the attention educators across the country, spurring the development of courses that teach this core set of habits that are so highly predictive of relationship success. Most people believe their habits will enable them to succeed in their relationships, but available evidence suggests that this is wishful thinking. Studies suggest that most people don't meet the prerequisites for relationship success. It's not surprising then, that half of all people who marry in the U.S. eventually divorce, and at least half of the couples who stick it out are unhappy with their relationships. Most of us don't have the habits needed to make our relationships succeed over the long haul. In fact, most people don't even know what these crucial habits are. The four-week seminar, The Prerequisites for Relationship Success is designed to teach the core set of emotional habits that are needed for any of us to succeed in our love relationships.
