Couples often benefit from support in communicating and reflecting on themselves, each other, and their relationship. Men and women often have very different perceptual styles. Understanding these differences and how to approach and embrace these unique aspects helps couples become stronger and more unified. Improving a romantic relationship starts by examining the strengths of each individual within the relationship. By expanding on these strengths and understanding how these enhance the relationship, while learning to appreciate the uniqueness in the differences between the individuals, couples develop a more intimate connection and healthy foundation.
