As individuals we have a powerful need and desire for coupling that drives us into and out of relationships. In recent times we seem to have developed a "need" to be happy and have a decreasing tolerance for delayed gratification. When we are single, we want to be in a relationship. When we are in an unhappy relationship most of us attempt to improve it and eventually leave if it doesn't get better.
A generation or two ago, men and women dated, married, had families, and rarely divorced. Everyone seemed to know the rules and followed them. "Fulfillment" was not a priority and unhappiness was not cause for divorce. Then our society changed; the rules changed; life and relationships became much more complex. We want to be happy, but we don't know how.
We organize our relationship coaching training around the 5 Stages Of Relationship Coaching that we have identified:
