It offers practical techniques and guidance to help navigate conflicts, address frustrations, and rebuild a stronger foundation of trust and intimacy.

Whether you are new to personal growth work or have previous experience, the course offers valuable insights and practical tools to enhance your relationship. It would be helpful if you get a copy of the book, “Making Marriage Simple” By Dr. Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt. It will add to your understanding and support the learning.
Is this online course group therapy?
No, your privacy is important to us. We understand that speaking in front of a group can be intimidating for some individuals. In our course, you are not required to speak in front of the group if you do not feel comfortable doing so. While couples are invited to participate and contribute to building a supportive group atmosphere, we respect that each person has their own boundaries and comfort levels.
While this course places a strong emphasis on couples sharing with each other and strengthening their connection, you will not be pressured or required to share with the larger group unless you choose to do so.
I am concerned about sharing personal information. What measures are in place to ensure confidentiality?
We understand the importance of confidentiality when it comes to personal information shared during the course. Safeguarding your privacy and creating a safe space are our top priorities. Here are the steps we take to ensure confidentiality:

- Confidentiality Agreement: All participants are required to sign a confidentiality agreement at the beginning of the course. This agreement sets the expectation that any personal information shared within the course remains confidential.

- Professional Facilitators: Our course is led by experienced and trained facilitators who prioritize confidentiality. We are committed to creating a safe and non-judgmental environment where participants can freely express themselves.

- Your Privacy, Your Choice: You have control over how much personal information you choose to share during the course. It is always encouraged to be open and honest, but you can decide the level of detail you feel comfortable disclosing. By respecting the confidentiality of others, you also contribute to maintaining a secure and supportive environment.

We are committed to providing a confidential and supportive environment throughout the course. If you have any specific concerns or questions regarding confidentiality, please feel free to reach out to us. We are here to address your concerns and ensure your comfort and privacy during the program.
Can I attend the masterclass without my spouse?
We understand that life can sometimes interfere with your schedule. If you are unable to attend a class, don't worry! The class will be recorded and made available to all participants after the class session. The recording will include the main content of the class session. However, please note that the Q&A section of the class will not be included in the recording. This is to ensure confidentiality for all participants. We encourage you to listen to the class recording before the next class. This will allow you to catch up on the material covered, work on the exercises, and stay on track with the class progression.

While you won't be able to participate in the live Q&A section if you miss a class, you can reach out to us with any questions or concerns via email. We are here to support you and provide guidance throughout the course.
