Engaged Couples Course
Let's Make It Work
This course will have a very positive effect on your relationship now and in your future married life. Couples explore their relationship in a variety of ways – strengths are recognised and the skills to make positive changes are identified and practised.
The course provides a safe and trusting environment. It will allow you to share common experiences and issues at a comfortable level. You share only experiences and issues you choose to share. Nobody imposes their ideas on you. You will work together as a couple to design a marriage that will work for the both of you. The course material provides you with tools to meet your challenges and work through issues before they become serious problems. The most effective educational model is one which allows couples to define together as a couple how they will make their marriage and family work.
Areas explored:
Couples at each course choose the specific issues they wish to explore. Some popular choices are as follows:
- Communication; conflict resolution and decision-making
- Exploring expectations; designing a marriage that works for both of us
- Mixing different family backgrounds and family influence
- Recognising and meetings needs – your needs, my needs, our needs
- Coping with stress
- Budgeting and financial planning
- Balancing work and family; adjusting to parenthood, twin careers, etc
- Reasons for marrying
All courses are approved and part funded by the Commonwealth Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs.
Couples will receive a Certificate at the completion of this course.
PREPARE
Relationship Evaluation
PREPARE Relationship Evaluation helps identify important relationship dimensions, your strengths and the areas you would like to improve in your relationship. The first session involves each individual completing an extensive questionnaire covering all facets of their relationship. The results and feedback are worked through with the facilitator in the second session.
PREPARE Relationship Evaluation involves two one hour sessions approximately two weeks apart and is completely private. This is not a group workshop; and sessions are held at the RELATEWELL Centre Coburg.
Couples will receive a Certificate at the completion of this course.
