Couples Classes

Couples Classes Promote a Couple’s Caring, Respect, & Fun

Classes forming soon!  Call now to reserve your seats.

Some people prefer a more informational class setting to an individual counseling session. Our couples classes are a series of four weekly classes taught by relationship experts and covering topics we have found come up most frequently when counseling with couples.

People often think there are only two choices when a marriage or significant relationship goes sour: endure in misery, or end the relationship. This is because it feels like we are already doing everything possible to make the relationship better. There actually exist many other options—options that involve bringing more than enough love, joy, freedom, and fun back into the relationship to make it worth holding on to.

Each four week class has a different focus, but throughout the class you and your partner will learn about important topics like these:

  • How to connect on a deeper emotional level
  • Ways to sidestep the “Landmines” of the relationship
  • Getting your needs met
  • How to recognize and avoid the trap of false expectations

  • Fighting fair to fight less
  • What to pay attention to, and what to ignore
  • Activities that will help you to bond better with each other
  • How to solve the recurrent problems that come back again and again

Marriage classes have been shown in recent research to significantly reduce the divorce rate of participants. This is consistent with other studies showing that improving communication and conflict-resolution skills, while increasing commitment, trust, intimacy, and connection, reduces people’s reasons to get divorced.

Here’s what people have said after attending couples classes:

“We don’t argue as much–and when we do argue, it doesn’t get ugly or last all week.”

“He listens to me now. I would get so frustrated, but now he actually listens.”

“I thought I was doing ok, but she was miserable… It’s so good having my happy wife back.”

“We communicate so much better now. The passion is coming back again.”

“Now I remember why we fell in love.”

Seating in classes is limited, and once the class is full we cannot sign up any more couples for each course. Please contact us today to reserve your seats before they’re gone.

Very limited enrollment for the next class.

Call Marriage and Family Center at (661) 327-5100 to enroll.
