Day 1 focused on developing the three skills essential to lasting and satisfied partnerships:

  • Emotion regulation

  • Effective communication

  • Healthy conflict

Day 2 focuses on discussing key topics for premarital preparation, while practicing and refining the Day One skills. The topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Managing finances

  • Work-life balance

  • Sustaining sexual desire over time

  • Navigating boundaries with family

BtL provides hands-on support each step of the way to facilitate healthy communication during these important conversations. Afterwards, couples who complete BtL report feeling better able to handle conflict, better able to communicate effectively, and better prepared for their shared future. In addition to these new skills, couples leave with a binder full of personalized reference materials to support them in the years ahead.
