Description

You are a so-called patchwork family. You have experience and children from a previous relationship. You face particular challenges in your future together. What can you do to better master the path from being in love as a couple to a happy patchwork family?

Patchwork families are both a challenge and an opportunity. In any case, they call for creative and individual solutions.

On this weekend you will learn:
– how and where you can support each other.
– how to deal with stressful situations in a more relaxed way.
– how to deal with differences of opinion and “unsolvable” problems in the best possible way.
– how you can talk about your needs together.
– how to meet each other more consciously in everyday life and thus experience more appreciation.

This weekend is not just about WHAT you can do, but HOW you can implement it in your everyday life. Your relationship quality will improve sustainably as a result.

Couples at the beginning of their journey together and also with several years of relationship experience are very welcome!
