Anew Life Center’s Relationship Programs

Much like the conventional medical model, traditional marriage counseling and relationship self-help books treat the symptoms of a marriage rather than the root cause. Traditional marriage counseling and relationship books foster co-dependence, which causes each partner to become dependent on their partner for their individual feelings of being loved and respected. This co-dependence shifts the responsibility for one’s sense of well-being to one’s partner rather than empowering each partner to be responsible for meeting their own needs and their sense of self.

Anew Life Center’s relationship programs are a novel approach to marriage counseling. The program deals with the underlying cause that creates the chronic issues in marriages such as poor communication, lack of intimacy, and persistent arguments. Anew Life Center’s has developed two separate 8-module programs, one for married men and one for married women, which recognizes the unique core issues of the husband and wife in a marriage. For committed couples, the programs provide insightful reframing of the marriage relationship and promotes rapid transformational change which occurs through the progression of the modules that build upon each other.

The Relationship Programs are designed for struggling, committed couples, who still love each other yet seek to rekindle the love and vitality in their marriage. It is not for dysfunctional couples who are on the verge of divorce or for abusive relationships.

Women’s Program:

Anew Life Center’s Women’s Program is for open-minded married women to realize that their happiness is a personal responsibility and cannot be assigned to their husbands. By learning to cultivate their own happiness, they can be empowered to find their self-identity again and no longer be dependent on their partner or marriage to be the source for their identity and happiness. The program emphasizes personal integrity and taking responsibility for one’s actions and choices.

Men’s Program:

Anew Life Center’s Men’s Program is for good men who have unknowingly given away their power to their wife and who feel resigned in their inability to understand their wife and how to make her happy. The program works to rebuild their sense of being a man who is capable and can navigate a relationship with their wife in a constructive, self-aware, and responsible manner. The program teaches the husband how to establish healthy boundaries with his wife and to relinquish the natural desire for a good man to feel responsible for his wife’s happiness and her emotional state.
