Five Reasons Why You Should Come on the Getting the Love You Want Couples Weekend Workshop

Let’s be real – is your relationship everything you dreamed it would be? Or do you sometimes feel stuck in that frustrating loop of having the same arguments over and over, feeling disconnected, or just sensing something’s missing?

If you’re thinking “yep, that’s us,” don’t worry – you’re in good company! Almost every couple goes through this stuff. It’s totally normal. But here’s the exciting part – the Getting the Love You Want Couples Weekend Workshop offers a proven path to transform your relationship into something that feels safe, connected, and actually full of joy.

Created by relationship experts Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt*, this couples weekend workshop is a relationship game-changer packed into just two days. Whether you’re struggling with specific issues, feeling like roommates instead of lovers, or just want to make your good relationship even better – this workshop provides practical tools that actually work.

Here are five compelling reasons why you and your partner should sign up for the next Getting the Love You Want couples weekend workshop:

Reason #1: Discover Why You Chose Each Other (And Why You Sometimes Drive Each Other Crazy)

Ever been puzzled why you were crazy attracted to your partner at first, but now some of those exact same qualities drive you nuts? During the Getting the Love You Want workshop, you’ll have those “aha!” moments about how your childhood experiences created this unconscious “blueprint” that led you straight to your partner.

You’ll learn about the “Imago” – your unconscious image of familiar love – and how it influenced your choice of partner. This revelation alone is worth the price of admission! Understanding this connection helps you stop taking your partner’s behavior personally and start seeing how your relationship challenges are actually opportunities for healing and growth.

Reason #2: Learn a Powerful Communication Tool That Actually Works

At the Getting the Love You Want couples weekend, you’ll learn the Imago Dialogue – it’s not your typical “communication technique.” It’s a structured but natural way to talk that slows things down so you can really hear each other.

This dialogue process helps you stop the destructive patterns of criticism, defensiveness, and withdrawal. Instead, you’ll learn how to listen deeply and respond with empathy, even during difficult conversations. Couples consistently report that learning this dialogue process transforms how they communicate, creating safety and connection where there was once frustration and distance.

Reason #3: Transform Conflicts Into Connection

What if those annoying fights actually serve a purpose? The Getting the Love You Want workshop shows how conflict is actually “growth trying to happen” and gives you tools to turn those heated moments into opportunities to grow closer instead of further apart.

You’ll learn to identify the deeper needs and longings hidden within your frustrations, and how to express these vulnerabilities in a way that invites connection rather than conflict. This shift from power struggle to partnership is one of the most liberating experiences couples describe from the workshop.

Reason #4: Create a Shared Vision for Your Future Together

When was the last time you and your partner sat down and actually envisioned what you want your relationship to be? Probably never! During the Getting the Love You Want couples weekend workshop, you’ll create a shared vision that includes both your dreams and gives you a roadmap for where you’re heading together.

This vision-setting process helps you align your goals and dreams, bringing clarity and purpose to your relationship. Couples often describe this as giving them renewed hope and excitement about their future together.

Reason #5: Reignite Passion and Playfulness in Your Relationship

Let’s face it – the initial spark doesn’t stay hot without some attention. At the Getting the Love You Want couples weekend workshop, you’ll learn fun, practical ways to bring positive vibes back through exercises designed to boost appreciation, playfulness, and pleasure.

You’ll discover how to create daily rituals of connection, how to express appreciation effectively, and how to bring fun and surprise back into your relationship. These aren’t just fluffy ideas – they’re specific practices you can start using right away to create more joy and intimacy together.

What Happens During the Getting the Love You Want Couples Weekend Workshop?

When you attend a Getting the Love You Want workshop, you’ll experience a carefully designed program that guides you and your partner through a process of discovery and connection. Here’s what to expect:

Saturday

This is where things get really interesting! You’ll dive into understanding how your childhood experiences shaped who you are in relationships. Through guided exercises, you’ll explore your “childhood imago” – the blueprint that influenced who you fell for.

You’ll learn the Imago Dialogue – a structured but natural way to talk that slows things down so you can really hear each other. You’ll practice this together in private, working on real issues in your relationship. Workshop presenters will float around to help if you get stuck.

You’ll also work on something called the “Childhood Wounds” exercise, where you identify patterns from your past that are playing out in your current relationship. This is often where couples have their biggest breakthroughs!

Sunday

The final day focuses on practical tools for moving forward. You’ll learn how to:

• Turn frustrations into positive requests
• Close “exits” (ways you escape from intimacy)
• Create a “Relationship Vision” together
• Bring back romance and fun through specific activities
• Maintain your connection after the workshop ends

Throughout the weekend, you’ll work as a couple on exercises, but you’ll never be forced to share anything with the group that you don’t want to. The workshop is designed to be a safe space where you can be honest with each other.

The Zero Negativity Challenge – A Game Changer!

One of the most powerful parts of the Getting the Love You Want couples weekend workshop is something called the “Zero Negativity Challenge.” You’ll learn how negativity (eye rolls, sarcasm, criticism – you know the drill) absolutely destroys your connection, and you’ll both commit to removing it from your relationship. So many couples say this one idea completely transformed how they interact!
