Stronger Together Thrive Series - Galia Collaborative

Next Session TBD!

You know that relationships are tough, but how do you actually empower yourself with the skills to have the strongest relationship possible?

Like most people, you’ve probably spent many more hours preparing for your wedding than preparing for the inevitable challenges that will come down the road in your marriage.

If you are among those who have sought out additional support, you may have run into relationship education that is still heavily influenced by religious organizations, or you’ve faced the steep time commitment and lack of readily available couples counseling.

Rebecca Freking, licensed marriage and family therapist, has designed this educational course to help you and your partner maximize your time while covering the most essential topics you need to navigate marriage successfully.

Most couples who feel unhappy in their marriages wait years before seeking professional support. Let’s normalize educating ourselves about relationship skills the same way we educate ourselves about financial literacy or personal growth.

Women no longer tolerate being defined solely by their relationships or marital status, but our relationships still have a profound impact on the well-being and happiness of all of us. No discussion of mental wellness is truly complete without a focus on the ways we can strengthen our relationships while remaining grounded in ourselves.

Learn The Details

Who is this for?

Our Stronger Together Thrive Series is an educational course designed for pre-marital couples; couples considering marriage; and couples in the early years of a committed relationship. Although the material will be designed with this audience in mind, couples at any stage of their relationship can benefit from the material covered, and our series is LGBTQIA inclusive. We encourage couples to attend together, but you are welcome to attend on your own if your partner is unable to join. We’ll also make each recording available for two weeks if one or both of you are unable to attend live.

How You’ll Grow and Develop:

Learn practical tools for navigating conflict and communicating effectively
Better understand how your past experiences and cultural influences impact each of you
Learn how to anticipate and cope with the challenges of modern marriage, including the transition to parenthood and the influence of technology
Receive relationship education grounded in research and clinical experience rather than religious principles
Identify and challenge pervasive cultural myths that set couples up to struggle in isolation
Establish an expectation of being intentional and prioritizing your relationship proactively

How will I benefit?

Taught by a licensed marriage and family therapist, obtain the benefits of couples therapy with significantly less investment of time and money
Opportunity to complete in-between session reflection questions and exercises together, to integrate what you’ll learn and make it personal to your relationship
Access to a couples therapist and ability to ask questions during the live sessions
A sense of community from attending live sessions while still being able to maintain privacy

How do we connect?

We’ll meet virtually via Zoom for three sessions.

When and how often do we meet?

What’s the commitment?

We encourage you to attend as many sessions as possible live, so that you can ask questions in real-time. If you are unable to attend live, the session recording will be available for you the following two weeks. The course is designed for couples, but if your partner is unable to attend, you may attend on your own. You will be encouraged, but not required, to complete reflection questions between sessions together.
