Course formerly known as "Together Forever".


A new relationship is full of positivity, possibility, and big dreams for a future together. But a strong partnership does not just happen — it is created. Couples who thrive long-term are the ones who invest early in understanding each other, strengthening their bond, and learning how to navigate challenges as a team.

This course gives you the insight and practical tools to do exactly that. It is designed for couples who want to create a resilient, secure, and deeply connected relationship — whether you are preparing for marriage or simply wanting to build a solid foundation together.

In this course, you will learn how to:

  • Understand how your personal histories shape your expectations, reactions, and patterns in love
  • Apply attachment theory to the natural stages of a relationship
  • Create safety, trust, and emotional security together
  • Build emotional fitness through self-regulation, co-regulation, and shared regulation practices
  • Explore beliefs, needs, and values that drive harmony or conflict in your partnership
  • Learn to manage opposing views
  • Develop living agreements that support your long-term wellbeing as a couple

With the support of an experienced facilitator, you will deepen your insight into yourself, your partner, and the relationship you are creating.

This course will help you:

  • Strengthen your emotional bond and sense of closeness
  • Prioritise meaningful time and what truly matters to your relationship
  • Understand and meet both individual needs and couple needs
  • Communicate with clarity, empathy, and confidence
  • Build relationship resilience as a team and stay connected even through differences


By the end of the course, you will walk away with a shared toolkit, a clearer understanding of each other, and a stronger foundation for the relationship you want to build — now and for the future.
