Becoming a Couple

When we find our “person” and make the decision to commit to a relationship with them, our world becomes a different place and our priorities shift from “I” to “we”.  Now, we have a partner to experience the exciting unknowns and blessings of life with…dream together, build a family together, face life’s challenges together…all the while we are creating special memories and overcoming challenges.  It is an exciting time in our life!

 

The following list is just a sample of the many factors affecting each individual partner in a Couple Relationship.  So, it is only natural to have some degree of challenges when we become a couple.  Together, as a team, we must learn to blend our individuality in a way that respects the coupleship, while learning to effectively communicate, resolve conflict, and take individual responsibility for being the best partner we can be.
