Some time ago my wife and I attended a relationship “strengthening marriage” seminar. After completing the course we explained to a family friend that we did this course.

The response was very interesting. This person said, “oh, I did not know that you were having marriage difficulties”. This was an interesting response.

When I replied that we were not having problems, the person looked perplexed.

The prevalence of this perception is really concerning.

The mechanical world understands the need for tune ups and prevention checks. Car services are not only done to change oil, but to check brake pads, lights, tyres, and other moving parts.  Very few cars break down on the highway when regular car services are performed.

So why did my wife and I participate in the “strengthening marriage course”.

Well this is not the first course we have done together and it will not be the last.  While at the “strengthening marriage course”, the facilitator asked what activities you can do together as a couple. Other couples gave standard answers like hold hands.  Sit together and talk. Go out to dinner.  Go to the movies. I then explained to the other couples that my wife and I love to do developmental courses together.

I explained that we had participated in landmark education, and the advanced course. We have done communications course and many other courses.

The facilitator told me that he had never heard that as a response before.  (I actually enjoy being different/unique).

You see, my wife and I have a great relationship.  The thing is I DO NOT WANT A GREAT RELATIONSHIP. I want a phenomenal one. Why settle.

Each time we have participated in a seminar together we have both grown, and this growth has improved our understanding and love toward each other.

Want to really strengthen your relationship with your wife. Do an improvement seminar together. Has worked wonderfully for me.
