Full course description
The 5 Verbs for Couples program is founded on decades of research on marriage and couple relationships – what makes them strong, what makes them thrive – even in the midst of challenges.
And we’ve summarized all this information into 5 verbs.
5 verbs that
- are relevant and practical for your relationship.
- you can apply to your relationship on any given day.
- can take a relationship from floundering to flourishing.
- can help you and your partner build a lifetime together.
The program consists of four online sessions, each approximately 30-45 minutes in length. Thematically organized around five verbs, the program addresses topics related to increasing gratitude between partners, nurturing friendship and connection, addressing challenges, improving communication, being a team, and building dedication.
The program was developed by a team led by Dr. Allen Barton, an Associate Professor & Extension Specialist in the department of Human Development & Family Studies at the University of Illinois, with more than a decade of experience in the relationship education field.
