A Special Note to Couples Serving Cross-Culturally
|
Transitioning cultures is not for the faint of heart or marriage! Your marriage endures rigorous challenges and strains with every move and cross-cultural adaptation. Having served couples in transition and serving cross-culturally for 18+ years, I know first hand the immense toll transition takes on a marriage and yet the incredible joys and depth of intimacy that comes with living with conviction and intention together.
Knowing the trials and triumphs of cross-cultural transition and living on marriage, I have adapted The Seven Principles Workshop with you in mind. You will get all of the rich and powerful researched-back tools, but all adapted to living in a cross-cultural context. Let's connect and talk about what would best serve you, your spouse and potentially even your team! |

Reasons to Pause
This workshop is excellent for couples looking to strengthen their relationship, enhance communication and conflict resolution, and develop a road map to a meaningful marriage. With that said, here are some reasons to considering waiting to engage the Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work workshop: severe relationship distress, significant emotional or physical abuse, serious mental or emotional health challenges, one or both partners actively addicted to drugs or alcohol, and relationships with serious and unaddressed compulsive behavior. Once these relational challenges are addressed, then may be a good time to reconsider engaging the workshop.
