Why attend?
At the heart of lasting long term relationships is a solid friendship. Partnerships for Success seeks to assist couples to acquire practical skills for achieving healthier long term romantic relationships.
How does this differ to other relationship programs?
Our comprehensive relationship assessment will pinpoint the areas in which you can achieve the greatest growth so you can move forward to a place of strength, reconnection, and hope. Succeed helps couples aspire to prevent divorce or rescue their relationship by using the seven evidence based principles developed by the Gottman Institute. Preventative attendance is highly recommended (ie before significant conflict develops) where possible.

The skills covered in include:
- Enhancing your love maps (knowing one another better)
