Save your relationship in Two days

Ann from Relationship Wellbeing Specialist

Two-day intensives—just you and your spouse or partner (for nonmarried couples) and therapist—allow ample time to explore issues in depth, to deal with tough emotions as they arise and, most important, to begin to find solutions to long-term problems.

In a typical two-day session, Day one, starts at 9 am and ends around 5 pm, with a break for lunch. Day two starts 1.30 pm and ends around 7 pm.

Instead of spending a great deal of time analyzing what caused problems, time is spent exploring the reasons couples are seeking help, their goals for their relationships and the concrete steps they need to take to stop fighting and achieve more love and connection in their lives.

A portion of the sessions is devoted to teaching couples relevant relationship skills. For example, couples who complain, “We just can’t communicate,” learn specific skills to enable them to have productive conversations about heated topics such as dissimilarities in the handling of finances…levels of sexual desire…or beliefs about child-rearing or how free time should be spent.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
