Real Quality Time

What is Real Quality Time?

Have you ever noticed that you can spend lots of time together as a couple, yet not 'connect' in any sort of meaningful way?  Some people experience this as feeling 'distant'. Sometimes it's hard to know how to connect as a couple. You already know each other so well - what can you ask that you don't already know? How can you start those deep conversations that you used to have?

Real Quality Time is a series of workbooks, which include a large variety of activities designed to get you talking about the things that will help you to reconnect. Not only are the workbooks fun to do, they're also based on scientific research, and are designed to teach you some key relationship skills along the way. So you won't be wasting your time!

Why do we need to learn skills?

You can be the most loving and commited person in the world, but unless your behaviour is interpreted by your partner as being loving and commited, your relationship will suffer. Remember it's your behaviour that connects you as a couple. Skills help you to behave in a way that reflects love, commitment, and teamship.

Every couple already has a set of skills that they use in their relationship. Most of them may work quite well, and help you to behave in a way that assists your relationship. Others don't work so well, and cause conflict and distancing.

What Skills should we learn?

The ones that work! If you find something that you do as a couple that works, stick with it. However, there are also some fundamental skills that are present in all healthy relationships. These skills have been identified scientifically by observing thousands of couples in action.

Real Quality Time teaches these skills in a series that was designed to be completed at home, in your own time. It will teach you the skills that really work, and show you how to apply them in your own life.
