The Couples Culture Intensive™

Creating the Relationship You Want to Build Together

(Half-Day or Full-Day Private Couples Sessions — In-Office or On-Site)

A highly personalized, proactive intensive designed to help couples intentionally create the values, boundaries, communication practices, and guiding principles that define the culture of their relationship.

Every relationship develops a culture. The question is whether that culture develops by default or is created intentionally. The Couples Culture Intensive™ moves beyond simply asking, “Are my needs being met?” and invites each partner to consider a different question: “What am I contributing to the relationship we are creating together?”

In this approach, there are three important parts of the relationship: each individual partner and the relationship itself. What each person consistently brings to that third space—respect, honesty, empathy, responsibility, generosity, boundaries, and intentionality—shapes what the relationship becomes.

Benefits include:

• Identify your shared values and define the kind of relationship you want to create
• Establish healthy talking and listening boundaries
• Develop clear rules of engagement for communication and conflict
• Learn to disagree without criticism, defensiveness, withdrawal, or disconnection
• Establish healthy individual and relational boundaries
• Clarify expectations around parenting, family, finances, intimacy, work, and other important areas of life
• Develop practices for repair, forgiveness, accountability, and reconnection
• Create shared philosophical, spiritual, and relational guideposts for making decisions together
• Shift from focusing primarily on what you are getting from the relationship to what each partner is contributing to it
• Build rituals, traditions, and intentional practices that strengthen friendship, connection, and partnership

Includes: A customized half-day or full-day couples intensive; pre-session assessment and planning; facilitated conversations and exercises; development of shared values, communication practices, boundaries, and rules of engagement; and a written Couples Culture Framework outlining the principles and commitments the couple has created together.

Ongoing couples therapy, consultation, and follow-up are available upon request.
