Every year you are with your partner is another year that you two grow together. Your bond becomes stronger, and your relationship does as well. If you’ve been together long enough then you know that we all have our cycles of complacency. It isn’t that you or your partner don’t appreciate each other.
Once you get to a certain point in your relationship it evolves. You’re both at new heights in your careers, your children might be out of the house or getting ready to be. With all these new changes there is a chance that while your bond has grown stronger, you need some help along the way to make it flourish again.
Utilizing tools
Our cultivating connection course gives you the tools to help reconnect with your partner. Learn more about your partner on a deeper level and get comfortable speaking about uncomfortable topics. Not only will you gain insight into your partner, but you will also gain insight into yourself and your own wants and needs from the relationship.
Improving your bond with your partner
The course helps you and your partner reconnect, but taking the course can help you and your partner further grow your relationship. Taking the time to make an effort in your relationship can be one of the best ways to feel closer to your partner. It reminds both of you that you are in this together and that you want to develop your relationship. Growing your bond will help you both last as a couple and feel closer overall.
Working at your own pace
One of the best uses of our cultivating connection course is that you can work it at your own pace. We developed our relationship courses to help people that don’t have the time in their schedule to make it to in-person therapy. We give you the tools to work through the modules at a steady pace. This gives you time to absorb the information and revisit it if you need to.
Material from the course
The course covers some of the intimate parts of marriage like discussing sex in your relationship. Along with that, you’ll learn to avoid conflict, but not the way you think. Another important topic is learning about relationship patterns that you might be unaware of.
Learning to Avoid Conflict
By learning to avoid conflict in your relationship you can grow a stronger bond with your partner. Avoiding conflict doesn’t mean avoiding an argument altogether. It means that you and your partner will gain the tools to stop the conflict from ever taking place. Think of it as a preventative measure to a fight.
You and your partner will gain the communication skills and tools to discuss issues before they become too large to handle. A common misconception is that we shouldn’t discuss issues and should let them slide. This only makes resentment grow and turns a small problem into a full-blown issue.
Our cultivating connection course will help you avoid these little fights from becoming bigger ones by giving you the communication skills needed to find a resolution.
Learning about relationship patterns
Cycles of disconnect in a relationship are very normal. While they are common, they don’t have to continue to happen. When you begin to feel disconnected from your partner there could be an issue at hand that you two are avoiding or one of you wants to avoid. We help guide you to understanding this pattern so you can recognize it more rapidly.
Withdrawing from the relationship when there is a problem is a common thing. Withdrawers still want to fix the problem at hand, but they need to take a moment to think about it. On the other hand, we have pursuers. Pursuers will want to tackle the issue immediately and get to the root cause. Each style has its place within the relationship, but understanding your partner’s pattern is important to the overall success of your relationship.
Talking about sex
Sex is a major part of relationships. Happiness in a relationship can be deeply attributed to a healthy sex life. For some, it can mean getting your needs met, and for others, it can be a way to bond emotionally with your partner.
The important thing is the be able to discuss sex with your partner. Being able to openly talk about your needs and desires as well as discuss the frequency of sex will help with overall satisfaction. Our Cultivating Connection course will help with that and on a deeper level.
Not only will the course help you discuss sex it will also give you insight into the three sexual patterns of sex. Sealed off sex, solace sex, and secure synchrony sex. These patterns of sex can be cyclical or you and your partner can directly identify with one specific type of sexual pattern.
Being able to revisit the material
One of the main benefits of an online course is the ability to revisit the course material. Luckily our courses don’t expire and you have access to them for a lifetime. Occasionally we will make minor changes to the course material but the base course material is perfect to use for a long time. You could make retaking the course a yearly tradition or come back and visit it if you feel you aren’t using the material provided in the course anymore. We all need a refresher sometimes and having an on-demand style course is perfect for that.
