Coach Sappho's Pre-Marital/Pre-Commitment Program for Couples

Are you spending as much time on your relationship as you are…

  • Thinking about becoming exclusive/dating only each other?
  • Being exclusive/not dating anyone else?
  • Thinking or talking about living together?
  • Considering buying a home together or making other financial commitments to one another?
  • Discussing whether or not to have children?
  • Planning your wedding or commitment ceremony?

Or, if you have already made one or more of the above choices, do you know what you will need to do together, over time, to succeed?  Are the two of you 'on the same page' when it comes to how you define success?

Brought to the lesbian community for the very first time, in a truly unique way you will find nowhere else, Coach Sappho's Pre-Marital/Pre-Commitment Program for Couples will help you make the wisest choices you are willing to make about one of the most important decisions you will ever make:  who you will share your life with! 

Coach Sappho's Pre-Marital/Pre-Commitment Program for Couples was designed specifically for lesbians who desire a deeply satisfying AND lasting relationship with another woman.  Coach Sappho's Pre-Marital/Pre-Commitment Program for Couples is for the lesbian couple who is willing to invest in laying a strong foundation for themselves as they embark on the journey of love.

It's common in today's world for one out of every two relationships to fail, only half of all relationships that last are happy and the breakup rate for 're-marriages' or 'serial monogamy' may be even higher.  Hence, the rate of couples living together, without a formal commitment, has skyrocketed.  People live together trying to 'test' the relationship or to avoid 'being hurt again', however research is beginning to show that the breakup rates of couples who live together is the highest of all and that the happiness of individuals in couples who live together without a formal commitment is lower, in the long run.

Happily committed couples, on the other hand, tend to be, on average, healthier...

  • Financially
  • Emotionally
  • Physically
  • Sexually

There are various reasons for the demise of a relationship, however, a few of the most important and controllable things you can do to decrease the likelihood you will enter a relationship that fails is to...

  • Know who you are, what you want and be willing to stay true to yourself during the 'life partner search and selection' process
  • Be more conscious in who you choose as a life partner
  • Date in ways that help you make a wise choice
  • 'Pace yourself' by practicing relationship secrets, that over time, are known to nurture (versus destroy) a love relationship
  • Make a lifelong (versus 'we'll take it day-to-day') commitment to one person and one relationship
If you truly desire (and are committed to) forming a love relationship with another woman that is not only wonderful, but lasting, this program can help you increase the odds you will succeed!

Coach Sappho's Pre-Marital/Pre-commitment Program is perfect for… 

  • New couples
  • Established couples who have been 'together' awhile but are questioning whether they want to remain together and/or make a more formal commitment to one another
  • Couples who wonder 'is this the relationship for me?'
  • Couples where each individual defines commitment differently or where the issue of commitment hasn't been discussed or explored
  • Engaged couples or couples considering engagement
  • Couples who are considering or planning a relationship agreement, a wedding, civil union or other type of commitment arrangement

 Program goals include… 

  • Much greater clarity about you, your partner and your relationship
  • Learning skills, tools and concepts necessary for long-term relationship success
  • Empowerment to consciously choose or un-choose a relationship in alignment with your vision, requirements and needs
  • How to disengage respectfully should one or both of you decide to un-choose this relationship
  • Increase the likelihood of long-term relationship success, decrease likelihood of failure
 
Coach Sappho's role during this program is to… 
  • Be nonjudgmental and neutral about the outcome of your relationship
  • Empower each partner to tell their truth and honor themselves
  • Facilitate learning about self, partner, relationship
  • Teach/coach relationship skills, such as authenticity, mutuality, communication, etc.

You will benefit most from this program if you take the following approaches...

  • You are open to learning about yourself, your partner and your relationship
  • You prioritize long term success over short term discomfort
  • You use the program to make good long term relationship choices
  • You apply what you learn to life and relationships
