FAQs

  • Due to liability, childcare will not be provided. Please make sure children are taken care of during this event.

  • When in person, these events will be located at campgrounds. If you would like to attend and do not have an RV, you can make other arrangements with the campground or stay nearby.

  • No. The class does not include sharing problems or issues publicly. Couples Exercises are done privately.

  • Since the class involves couples doing exercises together, both partners must participate. If the class is offered over a period of time and one partner must miss a particular class meeting, then the other partner is encouraged to attend the lecture portion of the class. He or she may use the Couples Exercise time to do part of the exercises and then do the full exercise with their partner later. They may also use exercise time to read the Seven Principles book

  • I hear you, I am not much of a reader either. For this class the answer is yes, still come to the class. While the book provides very valuable information, the class lectures will summarize the content of the book. Each person will need a Couples Guide, however, to do the Couples Exercises efficiently

  • Just yourself and your partner.
