Relationship Preparation Package

Service Description

Session One : Healing and Resolving Past Emotional Challenges Before we can resolve the current issues in your relationship, it is important to examine those areas which have not been resolved from your formative years and become prominently displayed in your relationship. Many times it is these past unresolved issues with end up sabotaging an otherwise good relationship when you fear vulnerability. The goal is to renew your mind so you can move from a place where the challenges of your formative years is not the filter of your relationships of today. Session Two: The Breaking Down of Unattainable Expectations Have you heard from others that you are too picky in your relationships? Have you made relationship standards that no one can ever live up to? While it is important to have a clear idea of the type of person you want for a committed relationship, the focus needs to shift from external expectations to internal character traits, morals, values and common beliefs. Looking to a relationship to fulfill an internal void and expecting that person to be the primary source of personal joy and happiness only leads to disappointment and heartbreak. We will look at the biblical way to fulfill those expectations through faith and doable steps to attain joy, without expecting that other people should provide the emotional fix of all past hurts and disappointments. Session Three: Learning Where Conflict Originates and Resolution Skills: In this session we will first look at the primary issues that cause conflict in relationships and from there how to confront the behavior correctly. Not only will you learn good conflict resolution skills for your relationships, but you will also gain the ability to examine the core motivation behind those conflicts. We will walk through the primary sources that lead to relational conflicts and then learn resolution skills to those challenges in a God-honoring manner. Session Four: Developing Effective Communication Skills The majority of communication problems arise from an ineffective way of listening to the other person’s viewpoint. Many people listen partially, catching bits and pieces of the information; others listen with filters from past experiences and pain, leading to an incorrect interpretation and ultimately reaction to present circumstances. Sessions can be modified to other topics as well.
