Philosophy of Couples Training

In an atmosphere of love, discovery, and adventure we inspire and empower couples to achieve excellence.

Principle-based Training

Older couples huggingIn our world and universe we learn to live within and even to harness natural laws. The processes of providing power to an electric light or flying a jet airplane demand adherence to sets of natural principles and 'laws' if we are to get the positive results of lighting a dark room or having a safe flight. There are natural principles that also help govern every successful marriage. Ignorance to or breaking of those principles invariably places strain on the relationship. Just a few of these "Relationship Principles" include:

  • Change yourself first.
  • Do not expect perfection; do expect happiness and joy.
  • The healing power of Forgiveness
  • The courage to Trust
  • Are you a Victim or Creator? What do you encourage your partner to be?
  • What price do you ask others to pay to be in relationship with you?
  • Control vs. Consensus
  • The principle of Autonomy in the joint venture of marriage (give one another permission and the wings to fly)
  • The principle of the Harvest
  • Fun and Spontaneity
  • The principle of Two Ears and One Mouth (The miracle of Sharing and Empathetic listening)

The Four Areas of Need

Everything about the LIFE trainings is different. The focus is on powerful principles and proven tools and processes, not temporary quick fixes.

physical, emotional, mental, spiritualWe recognize that couple and individual needs (and the problems that arise when those needs are not met) manifest themselves in four areas: Physical, Emotional, Mental, and Spiritual. Our training delivers a balanced set of curriculum and experiences designed to address those areas of need, and to teach how the legitimate needs of the relationship and each individual can be recognized and met.

So in addition to a series of great vacation activities that map back to your training, you and your spouse will also experience a deeper self-awareness through processes such as biofeedback and experiential discovery exercises. We will work with you and your spouse to tap into those parts of yourselves that hold the keys to strength, inner peace, creativity, and your sense of well-being.
