Over 10 weeks\, couples learn practical skills to communicate more clearly\, handle conflict with care\, and strengthen commitment and friendship. Rather than “talking about” your relationship in general terms\, you’ll learn tools you can use in real conversations—especially when stress\, misunderstandings\, or recurring disagreements show up. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Couples workshop details: PREP 8.0 series\nDates\, time\, and cost\n\nStart date: Thursday\, April 9\, 2026\nMeets: Thursdays\, 6:00–7:30 PM\nLength: 10 sessions (10-week series)\nFormat: In person\nCost: $30 per couple per session ($300 total per couple)\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Register Today\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Couples workshop overview: What PREP 8.0 helps you build?\n Couples workshop overview: What PREP 8.0 helps you build?\nPREP 8.0 focuses on the habits that protect closeness over time. So\, this couples workshop gives you a clear structure to practice new skills\, not just hear ideas. Each session combines short teaching segments with interactive exercises\, video examples of common unhelpful patterns\, and guided practice time for you and your partner. Additionally\, you’ll receive optional between-session exercises so you can try the tools at home and bring questions back to the group. \nWhat makes the PREP 8.0 couples workshop unique\nPREP 8.0 was developed from decades of research on what helps couples thrive across life transitions. Because the program stays skills-based\, you’ll build a practical “toolkit” that supports both day-to-day connection and tougher moments. For example\, you’ll learn how to slow down heated conversations\, stay on the same team during conflict\, and repair after a hard moment so small issues don’t turn into ongoing distance. You’ll also focus on protecting friendship and commitment\, because strong relationships need both warmth and teamwork. \n \n \n \n \n \n What you’ll learn in this PREP 8.0 couples workshop?\n What you’ll learn in this PREP 8.0 couples workshop?\nAcross the series\, you’ll practice strategies that can help you feel more understood\, more connected\, and more confident in how you handle challenges together.
