What Sets Our Course Apart

The entire course is built around two areas...

  • Head Knowledge

    Head knowledge teaches what you need to get to know about a partner to predict what they will be like in a long term relationship. The course outlines five critical areas to explore about potential partners and how to make sense of what you find out. Ultimately this will equip you with the tools necessary to choose a healthy partner and relationship.

  • Heart Knowledge

    Heart knowledge is how to pace your growing feelings of love and closeness in your relationship so that you don't overlook critical red flags in the relationship. You will learn about healthy and unhealthy trust and dependencies, ways that commitment can benefit you or entrap you, and the power of sexual bonding in your relationship.
