The Couples CircleBy David Steele I first learned about the concept of a Couples Circle when Maggie and I spent the weekend at Harville Hendrix’s ranch in New Mexico helping to form "Imago Couples International;" a new non-profit peer support organization for couples. For more info see http://www.imagocouples.org Since then, it has been our goal to start one in our area, which we were able to do after Hedy and Yumi Schleifer’s "Adventures in Intimacy" couples workshop we sponsored last year. One of our agendas for that workshop was to connect with local couples who might be interested in getting together. What is a "Couples Circle?" I define it as a peer support group of couples seeking to deepen their relationship. In my opinion, being in a fulfilling long-term committed relationship requires sustained effort, and on-going support to survive and thrive. How does a Couples Circle work? We meet monthly for two hours on a Sunday afternoon, rotating our meetings at each other’s homes. The couple’s home in which we are meeting are the "hosts" for that meeting. Our meeting format is:
We have five couples in our Couples Circle, and each meeting has been powerful, uplifting and good for our relationship. Everything that happens between one couple- a thought, feeling, want, need, appreciation, issue, etc, is usually something that touches us all, as the ups and downs of being in a relationship are pretty universal. We are able to learn and benefit from witnessing and supporting other couples going through what we go through. It is important to note that each couple has graduated from Hedy and Yumi’s couples workshop, so we have learned skills and tools that we use to dialogue and support each other effectively. Each couple seems genuinely motivated to work on their relationship, is open and supportable to the group, and able to provide support positively and without judgment. I feel truly blessed to have them in our life supporting my relationship with Maggie, and they seem to be deeply impacted by our circle as well. Joining or Forming a Couples Circle I believe the Couples Circle is a simple and very powerful relationship support and development vehicle. As founder of Relationship Coaching Institute, Board member of Imago Couples International, and a member of a couple relationship, I would like to see peer-led Couples Circles all over the world. However, the Couples Circle is not for everyone. Couples in trouble that do not have the skills to contain reactivity and follow a structured dialogue process are not appropriate for a peer support group and should work with a therapist. Though not required, I highly recommend couples desiring to form or join a couples circle to first learn dialogue skills, either on their own using self-help books or by participating in a workshop that teaches these skills (see below for recommended resources).
