Advantages of Taking
This Course
One Couple at a Time
Doing the course one couple at a time has many advantages. The course is custom-made to meet your unique needs.
You do not have to fit into the schedule of a pre-set course. With the marriage coach you choose convenient times that fit your schedule. And you get the full expert attention of the marriage coach in each session.
The Couple Communication Method
The Couple Communication Method gives you hands-on training in skills you practice in the sessions and then use daily. It results in even deeper love between you and your fiancé for the rest of your lives. This method can also help you at work.
Conflict Resolution
Marriage would be totally heavenly if it wasn’t for conflict. However, about 35% of first marriages divorce, and of the remaining 65% about half just exist together due to unresolved conflict. The Couple Communication Method is a tried and true method for resolving conflict in a healthy and safe way.
Sexuality
Sexuality is vital to any healthy marriage, but it is also one of the hardest things to discuss. The Couple Communication Method helps you open up about this, and Dr. Tallman will recommend two books on healthy marital sexuality. One is based on the ethics of the theology of the body and the other is considered by experts to be the gold standard in marital sexuality, combining trust, tenderness, and technique, love and sexual know-how. Nothing is better than a fulfilling sexual relationship with a lifelong partner.
Personality Type
You learn about your strengths and areas for growth and how to deal with your different personalities in an effective way. Knowing personality types can also help you at work.
The Four Stages of Marriage
The Marriage Preparation Course teaches you how to identify the four marital stages all couples go through, and what to do when you are in them. It gives you the great advantage of having a roadmap for a long and fulfilling marriage.
Family of Origin
The families we grew up in have a profound influence on us, whether we recognize it or not. In the course you explore how your expectations about things like housework, money, childrearing, and religion were formed by your original family, and how to cope when the expectations of you and your fiancé differ.
Finances
Next to sexuality and childrearing, money is the biggest source of marital conflict. The workbook helps you to fully disclose to each other your financial situation and to make a mutually-agreed upon financial plan for the crucial first years of your marriage, thus relieving a lot of stress and ensuring peace of mind.
Spirituality
Marriage is founded upon friendship, commitment, compassion, forgiveness, and unselfishness. Marriage is thus essentially spiritual in nature, whether you are religious or not. It does not matter how rich you are, you will still be unsuccessful as a couple if you are not living by spiritual principles. If you do live by them, you can weather the severest storms. The course teaches you the spirituality of marriage without trying to convert you to anything.
