Falling in love is easy… staying in love is an art. This can be accomplished when a couple realizes that a relationship will not run itself, you must RUN YOUR RELATIONSHIP. There are two basic assumptions that are foundational to this curriculum. First, healthy relationships are not balanced relationships… rather, they are balancing relationships. Life has predictable and unpredictable twists and turns so that couples need to make regular adjustments to ensure that they are staying on top of their closeness and intimacy. The second assumption naturally follows the first. Although there are some couples who instinctively run their marriage relationships, most couples need a plan for accomplishing this. Keeping your love strong requires ongoing communication and thoughtful consideration of your relationship.
At the heart
of every
vibrant relationship is a strong attachment. A couple who still feels “in love” after years of marriage is unsinkable in the waves of life. In the LINKS Program you will learn how to run your relationship by regularly revitalizing the dynamic LINKS of your marriage in brief, monthly huddles with the Relationship Attachment Model (RAM).
Intimacy is produced by these five dynamic links working together—if one is neglected or weakened then the others are also affected. You will gain skills for communication, conflict resolution, forgiveness and rebuilding trust
, identifying and satisfying personal needs, constructing a marriage story, and growing sexually.
