Welcome to the Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work Workshop!

  • Have you been feeling that your partner is just a roommate?
  • Do you fight about the same thing repeatedly?
  • Can you remember the last time you went out on a date or just had fun with one another?
  • Were you thinking about therapy but not ready for the time or financial commitment?
  • Do you have a good relationship that is going through some changes like the birth of a child or children going off to college?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this may be the training for you. Let’s talk about the training and see if this is what you need in your relationship

This is the Workshop for You!

This is an interactive and fun workshop.  You will listen to a few mini-lectures, watch some short videos, see some demonstrations of the exercises, and find little break out areas for you and your partner to do the exercises for 10-15 minutes.  When the group reconvenes, we’ll discuss our thoughts on the exercises.  There are no questions about your personal discussion only about the exercise itself.  You will receive support, encouragement, maybe a little cheerleading, and help to guide you through the process.

In order to provide everyone enough time to talk, laugh, and do the exercises, I will add an assistant for every 10 couples who sign up so there is someone who can answer questions quickly when we are in break-out sessions.  These workshops will be offered every 3 to 6 months so if you’re thinking about it now please sign up because spots are going to fill up quickly.  If the date doesn’t work for you, email me and you will be notified of the next class dates and location.

If you have questions, please email me at Azevedo@AFPsych.com.  I’m here to answer your questions about the workshop.  Unfortunately, I cannot answer personal questions about your situation by email.  You may call me at 919-624-9561 if you are questioning whether your situation fits for the workshop.  I hope to welcome you to this wonderful workshop that will help you improve your relationship.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS CLASS?

The Seven Principles Program will give you new insights and research-based relationship skills that can dramatically improve the intimacy and friendship in your relationship and help you resolve conflict in a healthy, productive way.  This class combines teaching and demonstrations with one-on-one work sessions where you and your partner focus on your relationship with each other.  Confidentiality is strictly maintained.  Although we encourage questions and comments, you do not need to speak in the workshop if you do not want.

BENEFITS OF ATTENDING

  • Learn to notice the good instead of the bad

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS CLASS

  • Q: Will I have to share our personal problems with the class? 
    A: No. The class does not include sharing problems or issues publicly. Couples exercises are done privately.
  • Q: Must both partners attend, or can I come alone? 
    A: Since the class involves couples doing exercises together, both partners must participate. There will be a Singles version coming soon.
  • Q: Myself and/or my partner isn’t a reader. Can we still come to the class even if we haven’t read the book? 
    A: Yes, you’re encouraged to come to the class.  While the book provides valuable information, the class lectures explain the content of the book.  Each person will be provided with a couple’s guide as part of your workshop packet and we will go through the material together.
  • Q: Should we do the exercises in the book at home or save them for class? 
    A: The class will involve doing some exercises from the book so doing them at home will duplicate some of them. We won’t be completing all the exercises in the book, so you are encouraged to complete the remainder of the exercises on your own.
  • Q: Is this therapy? 
    A: No, this is a psycho-educational class and is not a replacement for couples’ therapy. You will learn skills but will not be talking about private moments in your life.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out to ask me anything. I’m here to answer your questions and I’m very excited to get to know you better.
