Soulmating:

The Art of Inventing the “We”

No More Power Struggles

Place, Date and Time TBA



Would you like better communication and interaction with your partner?

In the post 9/11 world, all of us feel a lack of security and are aware of constant change in every aspect of our lives. This creates a great deal of stress. Accordingly, we now value more meaningful connections with our spouse or significant other. Lacking this type of connection can detrimentally affect our entire lives including the quality of our work and our relationship to ourselves and others. Our goal for this workshop is that men can leave Mars and women can leave Venus as we all return to earth with a new partnership model. This new paradigm is based on friendship and understanding, eliminating power struggles.
Life was simpler in our parent’s generation as marriage was defined by specific gender roles. External needs such as safety, security and family stability were the major focus. Emotional needs were usually met outside the marriage. Today, with a two income household, life’s stresses have greatly increased. Therefore, this old marriage model no longer works. We need to develop a marriage based on true partnership. Partners today must be best friends, meeting the external needs of our parent’s generation. Additionally, we must possess the capability to rely on each other for our emotional, psychological and spiritual needs. Love is not enough! We must learn to relate to each other, appreciating and learning from our different points of view , values and personality perspectives.

This series of workshops will provide the tools you need to strengthen and enhance your primary relationship. Through exercises and a series of concrete steps, you will learn to:
  • adopt a new relationship model that teaches the secret of discovering and sustaining a healthy and nurturing relationship for life
  • develop effective communication skills so both partners can gets their needs met without giving up who they are or making the other person wrong
  • acknowledge that we all have different perspectives and values while learning to listen to and accept another’s point of view.
  • be able to create “win-win” situations without power struggles when differences arise. We describe this process as two (I)ndividuals coming together in partnership to “Invent the WE” as shown in the diagram below.
 

I  WE  I

 
  • learn about the importance of “emotional safety”, an essential quality in loving and successful relationships
  • learn the importance of couples “being” as well as “doing” together

    Bonus: These same techniques can be applied to all relationships including co-workers, siblings, parents, children, etc.
