A Message from Imago founders: Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt
Welcome to Start Right, Stay Connected, a relationship education program based on Imago Theory for couples preparing to be married.
We’d like to congratulate you on finding someone who means so much to you that you’re prepared to do the work to make sure your loving relationship is strong, long and satisfying. As you approach the happy event of your wedding, you’re probably feeling more excited than ever about being together.
But, for most couples, there’s a seed of doubt. All around us, there are ugly examples of romance gone wrong. The average marriage in the United States currently lasts around 7.5 years. Experts reckon that 60% of men and 40% of women will have an adulterous affair at some point in their lives. You might even have friends, family or colleagues who respond to your hopeful excitement with rueful smiles and cynical comments about how love never lasts. Getting married can feel like embarking on an expedition into hostile, unknown territory.
But we have great news for you – true, enduring love exists. You can make a wonderful marriage better, deeper, richer and stronger as the decades pass. The smarter you start that marriage, the better chance it has of being everything you both hoped for. That’s what this course is all about. This program will introduce you to the natural stages of a committed relationship. You will also discover what practical steps and habits will help you move from instinctive to enlightened love. Imago theory offers a new definition of couplehood, based on collaboration, understanding, equality and safety. Couples learn to shift their focus from the personal to the interpersonal. Rather than asking: “How can this relationship meet my needs?” the conscious couple asks: “What does our relationship need?”
Attending a Start Right, Stay Connected seminar demonstrates that you already possess a quality essential to a loving connection: intentionality. A willingness to seek knowledge about your relationship and to apply that knowledge effectively is a great way to start an enduring, deeply satisfying partnership. Start Right, Stay Connected employs both learning (cognitive) and doing (experiential) methods to help you find your way to a conscious marriage that will last two lifetimes.
We wish you well on your journey to discover Real Love. In both little ways and big ones, you are contributing to a whole new culture of consciousness, growth and healing. Peace and Blessings...Harville & Helen "Let yourself fall in love again every day......................be in the full JOY of it". Matthew Fox _______________________________________________________
