Between long, unpredictable work hours, constant and intrusive electronic stimulation, endless extracurricular activities for their kids, meals grabbed on the fly, and little "downtime" together, no wonder couples complain about poor or nonexistent communication and intimacy. In this workshop, we'll discuss how to address the time-pressured "arrhythmia" that undermines couples' relationships and help them create meaningful "rhythms of relationship" that stimulate and protect a critical amount of quality time together. You'll learn powerful techniques for helping couples identify and change the "time side" of their problems and regularly use small check-in moments to dramatically increase their pleasure, connection, and intimacy. We'll also discuss mindfulness-based practices couples can do together for mutual soothing, decompression from work, and reconnection.
