What if we had a relationship maintenance reminder? What if a light on your partner’s forehead would blink regularly to remind you to pay attention, to keep in touch, to express your feelings and attend to theirs? Every relationship needs regular maintenance: tune ups, checking in with one another, keeping things running smoothly. And, although there are no flashing lights, if we pay attention, warning signs are not hard to recognize.
Recurring conflict, conversations that become confrontations, distance and disconnection between you and the one you love: all of these and more are signs that the relationship needs attention. And sadly, too many couples ignore the signs, hoping things will just get better on their own. In fact, renowned relationship researchers John and Julie Gottman report that the average couple waits and procrastinates as long as six years knowing that something is wrong before they get help for their problems.
Six years! What if you waited six years to change the oil in your car? That would be insane. You’d be buying cars more frequently than changing your oil, that’s for sure. What a waste. And yet, a relationship that could and should last a lifetime is worth far more than any car.
Here’s great news: a Hold Me Tight®️ couples retreat is great relationship maintenance. If you and your partner find yourselves farther apart than you want to be, if conflict just keeps tripping you up—you’re having the same arguments over and over (different topic, same pattern), if you are worried that you are losing the love that you were once sure would last a lifetime—consider those warning signs. Or maybe you just want to keep your very valuable relationship in tip top shape. Either way, Hold Me Tight®️ is just for you.
Hold Me Tight®️ is a two day couples retreat near beautiful Orlando, FL. Together with other couples, you will learn from attachment science and the tenets of Emotionally Focused Therapy in a low key, casual setting: no confrontation, no one gets put on the spot. Couples find that they have much in common with others and we all learn together.
And, in just two days, couples begin to understand what so often makes no sense in the heat of conflict—and they learn to connect more deeply and in ways they never knew they could. Hold Me Tight®️ can be nothing short of transformational.
And, here’s the best news of all—you can do that relationship maintenance this week. That’s right, our next Hold Me Tight®️ retreat is this Friday and Saturday, April 26 & 27. See our home page for all the details.
With machines…and certainly with love, maintenance matters. Here’s your chance. Give your relationship the loving care it deserves.
