The VIRTUES

The VIRTUES

A Program for Couples

Der Couple,

We are glad that you have decided to view this program. Caring for your marriage begins with making time for each other and staying connected by having fun together.

As you watch the videos and read the articles you will be encouraged to examine your habits - your ways of doing things. Often couples find that their habits can be the source of conflicts. Before you start, please read the introductory flyer, and "Helpful Steps in Sharing your Feelings with Each Other."

Please remember that this program is not a substitute for marriage counseling if that is what you need.

It is our hope that through the videos, the articles and the conversations prompted by them you will grow in virtue and you will strengthen your relationship.

John and Teri Bosio

How to Use the Program

Set aside 15 to 30 minutes of your time.
Begin by reciting together the Lord’s Prayer or your favorite prayer to remind yourself to invite God to be with you.
Read the Introductory Flyer and watch the first video.
Read the corresponding handout.
Review the conversation starters on the handout that corresponds to the video that you watched. Choose three questions that catch your attention. Take turns answering them and be considerate with each other. You may want to review Helpful Steps in Sharing Your Feelings with Each Other.
15 minutes of conversation may be enough. Then do something fun that both of you enjoy.

Keep this conversation light. Do not let it evolve into a debate with your spouse or into a disagreement that opens past unresolved conflicts. If you find yourself moving in that direction, stop!

Repeat this process for each of the four videos.
