The Program, using discussions, exercises and activities, takes participants through the following seven principles:
Enhance Your Love Maps - This principle emphasizes the importance of knowing your partner’s world. Couples should build a detailed understanding of each other’s history, dreams, preferences, and aspirations (the “Love Maps”). It’s about being intimately familiar with each other’s lives, which forms a strong foundation for a relationship
Nurture Your Fondness and Admiration - Maintaining a positive perspective about your partner is crucial. This principle encourages couples to express appreciation and affection regularly. By nurturing fondness and admiration, partners can counteract negativity and improve their connection, fostering goodwill and respect even during conflicts.
Turn Towards Each Other Instead of Away - Couples are encouraged to recognize and respond to each other’s bids for attention, affection, and support. Turning towards each other means actively engaging with your partner’s attempts to connect, rather than dismissing or neglecting them. This practice builds emotional intimacy and strengthens the bond between partners.
Let Your Partner Influence You - This principle focuses on mutual respect and allowing influence in decision-making. Couples would value each other’s opinions and feelings, which promotes equality in the relationship. When partners feel they can express themselves and be heard, it leads to greater collaboration and partnership.
Solve Your Solvable Problems- Not all conflicts in a relationship can be resolved, but man can. This principle provides strategies for addressing solvable problems through effective communication and compromise. It includes identifying the issue, discussing it calmly, and brainstorming solutions together.
Overcome Gridlock -Gridlock occurs when couples face perpetual issues that lead to recurring conflicts. This principle encourages couples to understand the underlying dreams and values associated with these conflicts. By gaining insight into each other’s deep needs and desires, partners can work towards finding a way to accommodate these issues, rather then allowing them to lead to resentment.
Create Shared Meaning- This principle emphasizes the importance of creating a shared sense of purpose and meaning within the relationship. It involves developing rituals, shared goals, and values that strengthen the couple’s bond. Couples are encouraged to cultivate traditions, shared dreams, and a common vision for their life together, thus enhancing their emotional connection.
