National Institute of Relationship Enhancement

My husband and I have gone to their Couples Relationship Enhancement Weekend twice — once before we were married and once during our first year of marriage. I would definitely recommend the workshop to other couples. The workshop focuses on communication skills and provides a special structure for communication that is particularly helpful in conflict situations.
The workshop groups are always small — maybe 8 to 10 couples — which is just the right size to get personal attention without feeling like you are in couples therapy. Both times the groups consisted of some couples who were pre-​marriage or newly married and couples who have been married for many years.
If you are thinking about trying out a couples workshop (there are many available around the country), I would definitely encourage you to sign up for a NIRE weekend workshop. You will learn a lot of great skills at a price that is affordable, especially compared to other programs.
