Workshop #1: What happened to my fairy tale?
Saturday, January 22, 2010, 9:30 am - noon
$35 per participant (minimum of 4, maximum of 8)

The American culture teaches females from a very young age that LOVE is the answer to all things. We are told stories of how a handsome prince will come from near and far to rescue us from harm, love us for our beauty and goodness, and that a kiss will be the ultimate in happiness. As we mature we read books and watch movies about love and passion that make us anticipate the joy and excitement that we will have in our adult love relationships. When we marry, we have a beautiful celebration of our "eternal commitment" to the man we love.

Then years later, many of us look at ourselves in the mirror and ask:

“What happened to my fairy tale?!”

This workshop is a discussion about the expectations that our culture, and we ourselves, put on our relationships with our partner. Be prepared to discuss:

what your expectations of marriage were
what compromises you and your partner have made
how those compromises have impacted your viewpoint
what change you can affect
ideas on changes you and your partner can make

The anticipated outcomes of this discussion are to discover how your perception of your relationship can impact your personal satisfaction with your relationship, as well as generate ideas on what changes you and your partner can make to get some of the fairy-tale happiness that you are looking for in your relationship and life.

Remember, if you don’t change the script, the play always ends the same way.
