Love Well — The Practice of Lasting Love

The Problem

"Couples often put months into planning one wedding day and very little into the years after it. Feelings rise and fall; what keeps love growing is what two people do, again and again, on ordinary days. Most help for couples is about fighting less. This course also builds the good: appreciation, delight, curiosity about each other and the strengths you bring together."

The right fit

Designed for For couples at any stage, from the first months to decades together, and for anyone preparing for, living in or looking back on a close relationship.

Love lasts when two people keep practising it.

Every tool works together or on your own.

Common questions

FAQ

Do we have to do it together?

No. Most tools work best when both partners answer and then compare, kindly, but every tool also works on your own. One partner practising alone still changes a relationship.

I am single. Is it for me?

Yes. Every tool has a way in for someone preparing for a relationship, and for someone looking back on one.

Where do we start?

With the first module, What Lasting Love Is Made Of. Then work through the modules in order, or follow one of the five learning pathways, and try one tool together each week.
