I really love talking about how our lives shaped us, and love talking about feelings and love learning so much about each other. So, I always looked forward to each section of the course because it gave us a really comfortable space to open up and share and be vulnerable. I thought the section topics were great; I think it covered a wide range of important information that needs to be talked about. We had covered a lot of these topics previously throughout our relationship, but it was nice to take a deeper dive into each one. I think we both went into this knowing we are a strong couple, but this course brought us closer together because we shared things that we hadn’t necessarily shared before. I would say it was very helpful, it definitely showed us what we need to work on but overall, it taught us that we can talk about anything and feel comfortable about it.
The convenience of this online course was amazing! It allowed us to set aside the time that worked for us, typically on Saturdays and we would dedicate the time at home to take as much time as we needed to talk. I hope others who are looking at taking this course, do it, because it was worth it. We laughed, we cried (sometimes) and we learned more about each other from the comfort of our home. Having these guided conversations was perfect for us and I think it works well for a lot of people, if you’re willing to put in the work. – Miranda
I thought that the questions provided for each topic did a great job of setting up meaningful conversations. We have touched on many of the topics covered in these sections before, but having a larger list of questions helped us both get down to the details on each topic – and helped us learn more about our pasts, expectations of the future, and expectations of each other for each topic. I really enjoyed that we both answered a few questions briefly and when we discussed them, we both looked at each other and said, “yeah we’ve already talked in depth on this one and we know where we both stand… moving on!”
For other questions – we sometimes spent 20-30 minutes sharing stories and listening to each other’s past experiences to fully understand each other. I would say this experience helped us round out our understanding of each of the provided sections and gave us some ideas on how to manage these topics moving forward. – Max
