Los Angeles REALHOPE Marriage Workshops
Couples Learning To Handle Conflict With Confidence!

Arguing - Fighting Marriage & Relationships Change
w/ Anger Management One Day Class Helps Couples
Use Conflict Resolution Skills THAT WORK!

My fun, easy and educational one day couples communication skills course prevents destructive conflict.  The one day seminar is a slimmed down conflict resolution class for both partners.  It prevents you from saying those things that timemagyou have to apologize for. And, it will give each partner the power to get the other to 'zip their lip' & listen or stay away for up to an hour.

  Much of the workshop is based on the PREP™ methods of skill training for couples used in many
   military bases, churches and other organizations.  I also use principles of Dr. Gottman & Harville Hendrix.          
   It is research based and simple to learn.  Video simulations help couples learn quickly & safely in a classroom like environment.

Men like the 'rules & tools' based' approach ---> ENDING THE CONFLICT!  
(i.e. -Get her to stop complaining.)

Women LOVE THE RESULTS ---> BETTER COMMUNICATION! 
(i.e.- Get him to listen & express more.)

Marc was written about in Time Magazine as a trained PREP™ Program presenter.

Why do marriage counseling when all you may need are some conflict resolution
and anger management guidelines learned in a one day workshop?

      Would you go to your medical doctor because you had a sniffle?  No.  You'd probably get some over the counter medicine to see if that was enough to find relief.  When couples argue and fight, why go to a psychiatrist, psychologist or marriage counselor, when you might be able to find relief by attending a fun one day seminar?   Or by following the 10 week Home Study Course learning the simple skills that prevent verbal abuse and circular escalating arguments that seem to never end.  The seminar or Home Study Course for Couples is like the over the counter first level of finding relief.  In fact, the course helps you determine if you really need professional help!

"I never thought this seminar would be as fun as it turned out to be. I'm so glad we don't have to live like that anymore. I KNOW that our relationship is going to be so much better after this workshop!" - Alfred & Michele (2003 seminar attendees)

I can say with confidence that my workshop
will help you make-up..... or break up. 

The skills and agreements are simple.  If a partner cannot follow these basic guidelines... and, won't seek further help... then, you have your answer to the question, "Is this toxic hope or real hope for me to think that the future can be different.

     Have you ever took a great seminar and then forgot almost everything after a few weeks?   So to make sure that the skills and agreements made in the training are followed through with, we are offering several 2 hour follow-up meetings.  Ideally, you would take the course then sign up for perhaps two more follow-up meetings.  That way you are more motivated to use the skills on a weekly basis!

     An alternative to the group environment of a Couples' Tune-Up, Marc will provide a one hour private session to fine tune the skills from the workshop with you.  That session may be a private office visit or a telephone consultation.

In the seminar YOU WILL:

  • practice the listening, expressing & responding to feelings constructively exercises.

Yes, there are other things you might want to do on a Saturday, but
spending 7 hours learning better communication skills brings PEACE OF MIND and:

  • Men can feel appreciated, instead of criticized by their wives. Learn the secret of how to listen ONCE to her feelings about something. Learn a way to stop those long relationship dialogues when you want to.
  • And women can finally have a man listen all the way through an emotional dialogue, without interrupting. And get this.....WITHOUT HIS GETTING DEFENSIVE!
  • Transform anger or emotional distance to intimacy and desire. Enhance your sense of partnership. Taught in a fun classroom setting.
  • Learning these skills will help make a frustrating relationship better and a good one GREAT!

*The workshop is a safe educational environment for practicing skills using fabricated examples of typical couple's conflict. You will not be talking or practicing on the 'hot button' issues of your relationship, unless you choose to do so. In addition, one main objective of the workshop is that each individual identify for him, or herself, which areas of communication can be improved. A guideline of this workshop is that at no time can one partner tell the other what he or she needs to improve on. That is for each person to determine for him themselves.

Our attitude is: If change is to happen...let it begin with me.

Workshop Registration Using Credit Card

Two workbooks will be shipped if your order comes in prior to one week before the event. Otherwise, we will give you your manuals at the event and refund your $5. shipping charge.

Remember, that there is a money back guarantee so it's risk free!  And, you can't really put a price on the peace and harmony that can result from these communication skills and agreements.

Compare that though with what you spend and what you get with other methods, like professional marriage therapy which can cost you $150. per hour for 15 or 20 or more sessions. You might also ask yourself if serenity, peace, respect and probably more lovemaking might be worth the cost.

For less than the cost of two sessions with a therapist, you and your partner get 7 hours of skills focused training and education with me that will change the way you handle conflict forever.

I can say with confidence that my workshop
will help you make-up..... or break up. 

The skills and agreements are simple.  If a partner cannot follow these basic guidelines... and, won't seek further help... then, you have your answer to the question, "Is this toxic hope or real hope for me to think that the future can be different.

I am still the workshop leader for all Los Angeles seminars.

Two workbooks and my personal attention and instruction is included. This is a tremendous concentration of time and focus upon learning exactly the skills that may transform your relationship.

guarantee If you don't believe that your relationship skills are significantly improved I will write you a refund check for the cost of the seminar.
