À propos
Experts agree - Couples should seek therapy long before they think they "need" to. Therapy should be an important part of your relationship - 75% of couples who attend marriage counseling believe they are "better off" after, and 65% report "significant improvement" in their relationship.
Half of all couples who have counseling maintain their improved relationship two years later. Therapy works to solve issues without blame by teaching you how to communicate, listen, and compromise.
Don't let anything hold you back! If you want to fix your relationship, but don't know how, we are here to help. Do you want to attend couples counseling but don't have the time - or the money? Then this course is for you!
Specially made for couples who want to strengthen and heal their relationship, this online course was written by our expert, Emma Abel, who holds a Masters Degree in Couples and Family Therapy and has studied under the famous Dr. Gottman. In this course you will gain all the tools needed to identify and solve issues within your relationship.
