13 LARGE MOTI VOS
- A couples retreat is a stop along the way to regain strength, feed, rest, redefine strategies and then move on.
- A review of the history of the couple is made to know how it is going: how they met, why they decided to be together, how they have been on the road since they started if they are satisfied or not … They collect the lessons of the past lived. It is a count to get to the present with everything you have learned along the way.
- The present they are living is analyzed: who are they now, what is their current way of thinking, their values at the moment, what do they need to adjust in their communication, personality and sexuality – which are the three main axes of the success of a couple of relationships – How much do they adjust or mismatch as a couple, currently.
- They experience a group coexistence in theoretical talks (although they then do individual reflection exercises) that benefits them because a learning community is created, which helps them realize that they are not alone, that other couples are living the same thing so that they can share experiences and ways of solution.
- An atmosphere of great trust is created between the couples in attendance because they are all there for the same goal: to promote their relationship. They arrive as strangers, but after sharing a topic, advice and experiences they even create deep friendships.
- Couples come to have time for themselves and they get it; they give themselves the opportunity to know how the other is doing personally and in the family project, if they are satisfied, if they think they are on the same path, with the same goals and objectives, if they feel comfortable and happy in the relationship or if you like to be with your partner.
- Couples manage to resume their complicity and friendship; they team up. It seems that sometimes they do not realize that their partner is the most important partner in their life and in a common project that is the family. Some married people struggle to have power and to impose their will; they don’t work the team concept. It is essential to learn to work together, to communicate as a couple, for the common good.
- They plan a life project, a future together: “what are we going to do from here on out, during the time we are alive”. They learn to set goals for themselves and their family: “where are we going, where are we going to walk?”.
- They fall in love with their original idea of when they got married. They realize that the person they chose is still there and that their dream is not yet lost; that gives them a lot of vitality, it excites them. They reevaluate their resources and learning, their progress achieved as a couple and individually, what each one has done so that this couple project continues.
- They learn communication techniques to reach agreements, negotiate, be empathetic, assertive, express their emotions and achieve intimacy, which means knowing what is happening within each one; when they know there is a deeper connection.
- A personality profile of each is carried out, in order to know what they are like, match personalities and identify what is the most appropriate way of treating each other to get the best out of each one.
- Sexual connection is sought through awareness exercises with music therapy, in which the couple gives free rein to the expression of their
sexuality on an emotional and physical level. - Couples manage to recognize that they are the support of society, the base of the family, therefore, they need to look at each other with respect and admiration, for everything they strive to build a positive and nurturing space for their children and themselves.
