Rules of Engagement
Strategic Plan
Creating a Rules of Engagement Strategic Plan with my clients is truly one of the most effective tools I have seen to create a passionate and thriving relationship. If fact, if this service was given as a wedding gift to each new newlywedded couple, I seriously believe the divorce rate would decrease.
First a little education: Did you know that 69% of all marital “problems or issues” stay with the relationship through the lifetime of the relationship? That means it doesn’t matter who you marry there are destined to be challenges that persist in every relationship. So what then makes individuals thrive in their marriage? What makes someone a marriage master? It is their ability to proactively work through the disagreements that are bound to come up throughout their relationship. Those who know how to not only communicate but to also argue with one another without damaging their love for one another or the integrity of the partnership. There are techniques to proactively argue with your partner if your relationship is based on a solid loving foundation, which Joy of Romance is here to help you develop and nurture.
FACT: The divorce rate is higher then ever! Did you know you have a 50% chance of getting divorced within the first 5 years of marriage; which jumps to 65% for second marriages. These are not good statistics if you consider that most people making that walk down the aisle insist that they DO WANT to stay happily married for the rest of their lives. FACT: Research consistently shows that preparation before marriage DECREASES the odds of divorce by 50% in the first 5 years. SO don’t you think it is worthwhile to make a small investment now to have a lifetime of love.
