P.I.C.K. A Partner

Workshop for Single Adults

PICK a Partner PHotoWant to follow your heart without losing your mind? Then P.I.C.K. a Partner is just for you. These classes are for singles who want to understand their own roles in their relationships and how a partner's behavior predicts the type of spouse they would be.

Premarital Interpersonal Choices & Knowledge (P.I.C.K) allows singles to learn aspects about themselves and what they are looking for in a partner, so they can learn How To Avoid Marrying a Jerk(ette)TM.

At one time or another, we have heard the old quote, "love is blind." It might have been at the miserably mismatched wedding; or, when your best friend forgave a partner the hundredth time for the same crime; or, when a recently a divorced person finally could see the red flags of their ex-partner from the dating years. The accumulation of experiences leads everyone to wonder if anyone could ever follow their heart without losing their mind.

P.I.C.K. a Partner provides singles and singles-again an easy-to-use plan which portrays the balance between getting to really know the person you are dating while keeping a healthy balance in the connections of your growing relationship.

At P.I.C.K. a Partner, you will learn the Relationship Attachment ModelTM, or the R.A.M. PlanTM, which conceptualizes the five bonding dynamics which make up the closeness and connection in your relationships.
