Additional Information - Newly Married Programs
Relationship Enhancement (RE) ProgramThe Relationship Enhancement® (RE) Program is an internationally-renowned, highly effective, and proven skills-training workshop program that helps couples to give each other the Gift of Love by learning skills which make love comfortable, generous, healing, and joyful. Founded on values of honesty and compassion, RE enables each partner to fully express what is most important, develop a genuine understanding of each other, resolve conflict, and build love. It consists of training in 10 relationship skills that enable couples to:
1. Speak in ways that will help your partner want to cooperate
2. Express understanding in ways that will make your partner feel understood
3. Discuss issues and conflicts in ways that lead to solutions you both can feel good about
4. Find and express the positives that are part of every conflict
5. Use conflict to grow closer
6. Work out the details of agreements so issues resolved today are lived out tomorrow and next month
7. Use skills to transform over time both your couple relationship and your relationships with children, co-workers, and friends.
The Relationship Enhancement® Program is for all couples - those who simply want to make their relationship better as well as those who are experiencing difficulties.
The RE Program was provided to residents of Orange County through a federal grant from the Children's Bureau to the Orange County Social Services Agency. The RE Program was chosen as the program to bring into Orange County for this grant because of the extensive published research that documented its effectiveness across a wide range of marriages - including engaged couples, married couples seeking marriage enrichment, and couples experiencing significant difficulties in their marriages. For a brief description of some of the research documenting RE's effectiveness, click here. As one example - in an award-winning, meta-analytic study involving thousands of couples and over a dozen approaches, RE clients showed far more powerful improvement effects than clients in any of the other interventions for couples or families with which it was compared; click here to see a graph of the results of that study.
