Relationship Enhancement^® for Couples helps couples to give each other the Gift of Love by learning skills which make love comfortable, generous, healing, and joyful. Founded on values of honesty and compassion, RE enables each partner to fully express what is most important and use that expression to resolve conflict and build love. It consists of training in 9 relationship skills that enable couples to:

1. Speak in ways that will help your partner want to cooperate
2. Express understanding in ways that help each other communicate from your deepest, best selves.
3. Discuss issues and conflicts in ways that lead to solutions you both can feel good about
4. Find and express the positives that are part of every conflict
5. Use conflict to grow closer
6. Work out the details of agreements so issues resolved today are lived out tomorrow and next month
7. Use skills to transform over time both your couple relationship and your relationships with children, co-workers, and friends.
