The Art of Living Together

Why Invest Time to learn “The Art of Living Together”?

Have you ever had one or more of these questions pop up in your mind?

• What happens to Love after getting married?

• How come my spouse changed after marriage?

• Does my spouse really love me as much as during honeymoon or while dating?

• Why can’t my spouse understand me better?

• Why doesn’t s/he listen to me at all?

• Where has the romance gone from our marriage?

• Why do I have to spell out everything even after so many years of being together?

• Why can’t s/he be more like my Mom/Dad?

• And so on….

If you answered yes to even one  question,  then you need to  invest time and energy  not only in learning about living together, but also in The Art of Falling in Love Again – with your Spouse!!!

Each one of us is Unique

We all started out in life with a combination of ingredients that made us different from our brothers and sisters – yes even twins! Then, over the years, people have chiseled, chipped, hammered, sanded, molded, buffed, and re-formatted us over and over again.  No two of us are alike.

If we can only know:

•   What we are made of

•   Who we really are

•   Why we react the way we do

•   Our strengths and how to amplify them

•   Our weaknesses and how to overcome them

Well the good news is that we can actually know these and this course will start you on the journey.  You will have to complete it though

What Happens to Love after the Wedding?

We will try to understand the phenomenon of “falling in love” that is normally associated during our dating days and honeymoon period.  The need to feel “loved” is one of the most basic human emotional need. And very often it is the first need that seems to be ignored by our partner.

A husband may provide all material comforts to the wife, even bring presents on her birthday and yet seem to be “un-loving’ to the wife.  Likewise, a wife may cook the most favorite dish for the husband, iron his clothes for an important meeting and yet come across as a “just doing her duty” type of wife to the husband.

The reason for this is that each is speaking a different Love Language!  Just as a person who knows only German Language cannot have a meaningful conversation with a person who knows only, say, Greek, in a similar way two people who may love each other are speaking two different languages and hence cannot have an effective communication.

During the course, we will explore the Five Love Languages:

1. Words of Affirmation

2. Quality Time

3. Receiving Gifts

4. Acts of Service

5. Physical Touch

We will learn to identify our own Love Language and also that of our spouse and start the process of learning their language and speaking in that language.
