Marital and Couples

The Family Success Consortium (FSC) Marital/Couples Program can help couples build a successful relationship.  There are common relationships challenges which can be resolved. Most problems will not go away without doing something different.

Our Couples Program

  • Provides an atmosphere of listening and understanding.
  • Helps you identify and achieve your goals.
  • Works with you in a positive and safe environment.
  • Emphasizes active solutions.
  • Uses and expands the existing strengths in your own partnership.
  • Increases self and partner awareness and growth.

This program can help you and your partner...

  • Communicate your needs more clearly.
  • Understand yourself and your partner more fully.
  • Appreciate your partner and yourself as mutual teachers and learners.
  • Deepen your relationship connection.
  • Understand the effects of your family of origin on your relationship.

Program Philosophy

  • Every couple comes together for a reason.
  • We meet as incomplete beings longing for union with ourselves and another.
  • We connect with each other because we have something very important to learn about ourselves.
  • The learning is part of the lifelong journey toward wholeness.
  • We are each other’s teacher.
  • And it is within the crucible of the couple that the fires of awareness, knowledge, and eventually wisdom are fanned and inflamed, sometimes withered and dampened, but with a continual push to complete this cycle of growth upon which each of us has embarked.
  • It is truly only through another’s eyes that we can fully know ourselves.
