Boundaries for Couples

Self-definition to strengthen relationships

In this program, couples will learn ways of enhancing their primary relationship through increased vulnerability, deepening intimacy, and a genuine appreciation and celebration of their differences.

Couples will learn to:

• Increase self-definition
• Identify and express preferences
• Be in the tension of disagreement
• Distinguish between boundaries and walls, and value both
• Recognize and transform entrenched family rules and patterns
• Live and express boundaries in a primary relationship

Format: In a fun, dynamic and engaging way, couples will first identify and share their experiences with boundaries in relationship. Then, through a series of presentations, exercises and periods of sharing and reflection, they will explore the impact of the boundarying process on their self-definition and their relationship. They will appreciate the 'ripple-effect' that clear boundaries can have on every other relationship in their lives. Couples will be encouraged to tailor the process to their specific situation and individual styles.

Note: This program is intended for couples in a primary relationship. However, if two individuals not presently in a primary relationship wish to participate together, they will find their learnings beneficial for their present or future relationships.
