Strong Marriage Now program… Starting out!

So I have been fortunate enough to have been given an ENTIRE series of classes with Strong Marriage Now.  It is a 7 week program designed to keep couples together, happy, and thriving in their relationship.

Ross and I have been together for over 10 years (we’ll be celebrating our 9th anniversary on the 19th of this month!) and have had our ups and downs… most of our downs were in the beginning of our marriage, really…  Boy were we different… and a tad bit SELFISH may I say! 🙂

Anyway, we’ve gotten into a great groove with our marriage, but there is ALWAYS room for improvement.  We are happy at least 90% of the time, but that other 10% can sit in the forefront of our minds and stew sometimes!  How easy is it to focus on the negative and not on the positive, right?

I’m pretty excited to get started with this program.
So far, we have watched a video and completed the 16 page workbook/guide for the first week.  The initial exercises and video took us about 20 or so minutes to complete.  We’ve signed a commitment to complete the program and have “homework” for the week that will literally take a few minutes a day to complete and keep each other talking and positive.

I’m going to be checking in periodically to tell you about the program and about our progress with it, so stay tuned!!! 🙂

More About StrongMarriageNow.com:

StrongMarriageNow.com was founded to help more couples have AMAZING marriages. As mentioned above, Dr. Dana Fillmore has been working with couples for 15 years and three out of four of her couples stay together after working together as compared to the national average of one out of four. We wanted to offer an alternative to counseling and to help more couples than Dr. Fillmore could see in her office. The StrongMarriageNow System was designed to be straightforward and practical. We aimed to provide the most important lessons that make a significant difference in relationships. We also surveyed hundreds of couples about their most important areas to improve in their relationship. These areas included communication, spending time together, money issues and sex, which is why we have chapters dedicated to each of those topics.
All of the advice in the StrongMarriageNow videos is based on scientific research and Dr. Dana Fillmore’s experience. The skills and concepts have been proven effective in countless studies as well as in Dr. Fillmore’s practice.
The StrongMarriageNow System teaches principles of love, commitment, openness, trust and connection. Dr. Fillmore teaches that we all have choices in how we think, act, and behave and she gives you the tools to make better choices. We also can choose our attitude towards our life and our relationships. She’s empowering and thought-provoking. StrongMarriageNow.com is compatible with all faiths and walks of life. We are not affiliated with any political organization.
