Relational Skills for Singles
From Don:
A really happy long term relationship, like a fine wine or violin, becomes more tasty or beautiful with age. Such an intimacy is, unfortunately, quite rare. It is apparently most challenging to find a suitable partner and create together a lasting, vital, loving, respectful intimacy, one that can withstand the hurricane winds of adversity and become actually stronger over time. Such a relationship does not occur through luck or accident. It requires a definite set of skills – ones which happen, alas, to be hard to come by. We were not taught them by our parents, our schools, our religions, or the media; and wise tribal elders have been in short supply.
These skills, worth their weight in gold, are now available to be learned, in a unique weekend experience with Martha and Don Rosenthal. From their successful 40 year marriage and 25 years experience in working with couples, Martha and Don are presenting - for the first time for singles – the distillation of their experience. Here is the wisdom that can help you select a suitable partner and enter into the adventure of a lifetime: a healthy intimate relationship.
