Learning Objectives

To learn about a family systems approach to marriage.

To explore how emotional processes in one’s family of origin can impact our relationships and our behaviour, especially in important relationships like a marriage.

To learn ideas that can be applied right away to foster open communication and reduce the impact of the inevitable tension that can arise in relationships.

These are the topics to be covered:

Relationship Patterns: Learn the 4 basic relationship patterns that can be found in any marriage or family, but just in varying degrees.

Systems thinking: Understand the importance of not looking at people in isolation from one another, but rather as a unit, in order to get a more complete picture of the situation.

Triangles: Learn the pros and cons of “talking to a friend” about your relationship.

Sibling position: Recognize how we function may be affected by our birth order, and how we can function in a more mature way.

Family of origin: Understand the importance of our family of origin and the impact it can have on our marriage.

Defining a Self: Understand the importance of maintaining a self while being able to relate closely to the people we love.
