Description

Whether in a new relationship or continuing a longer romance, every couple can benefit from some new tools in their toolbox to keep things fresh. This interactive workbook was created to help with the pressure of relationship “perfection” and to spark connection and conversations to help relationships thrive. Going Steady invites conversations, provokes deep belly laughs, and even some “aha!” moments to help couples build a healthy (and happy) future together. Filled with fun and meaningful exercises for couples to complete, Going Steady sets couples up for success in their lives together. Includes perforated pages at the back to do a values exercise and a blueprint score card for each partner to fill out as a summary of their personalities and conflict styles.
