The natural world is successful because both sexes have found a way to value each other’s strengths
Ideally, partners are pulling in the same direction and communicate well enough to create that vision

All organisms can only stay healthy through developing a healthy feedback system.

CREATION OF A COUPLE COURSE CONTENTS
The Creation of a Couple was originally designed as a university course to teach students of family studies, and all students in general, about the world of couple education - about how successful couples keep their love alive over the course of a life-time. With ever increasing rates of divorce and separation, it’s evident that societies need to find new ways to help young adults succeed in this important area of their life. This course is an experiment into whether such a course can help. The initial results are encouraging. Many of the students have given the course high ratings for personal usefulness (See here for course evaluation comments and here for ratings). Encouragingly, they also seem to be passing on their new knowledge to their friends and even their relatives.

The course can now also be broken down into smaller modules that can be used to run shorter seminars for church groups, practicing family professionals and other interested parties

Because of the growing need to find new ways to build healthier societies, we are only to happy to work with other interested parties to develop best educational practices in this area.
