About the Program
The first year of marriage is the time you discover that living with a person can be a whole new adventure in comparison to dating the person. You discover much more about each other when living together on a daily basis. Many times, there is a lot of discussion and planning that goes into preparing for the one day of wedding rituals and celebrations. However, hardly any time is spent discussing how to handle marriage or how to equip yourself better at managing relationships.
After the wedding day, the whirlwind of activities suddenly subsides. The haze of the new romance also clears soon after the honeymoon. It is at this time that the first waves of responsibilities and adjustments in a married life crash against you and takes you by surprise. As a couple, you are, suddenly, left with a feeling of overwhelm or void; a phase of feeling – ‘What next?’. This if, not handled with care, may end up being the time when marriages can fall apart. Hence, it is not surprising that nearly half of the divorces in India are filed within the first year of marriage.
Research suggests that good communication and an open-minded approach in understanding each other’s personality and family backgrounds can pack you with the right kind of attitude to stay afloat while anchoring your relationship firmly.
The Marriage First365 Mentoring Program is a unique, personalized, one-to-one, online mentoring program for newlywed couples. The guided conversations in this program will not only help you lay a strong foundation by discovering each other better but also equip you with the essential relationship skills you need as you start your journey together, through techniques tailor-fit to your specific emotional and personal needs.
It offers a safe and non-confrontational space for you and your newlywed spouse to discover and embrace the ‘us’ in your relationship without letting go of the ‘me’ factor. The program guides you beyond the conversations of your favorite movies, dishes, hobbies, etc., into each other’s inner worlds, leading to the discovery of deeper facets of each other like origins, upbringing, values, dreams, aspirations, goals, etc. The program is, thoughtfully designed keeping in mind the potential struggles that erupt in the early years of marriage.
The program is founded on the science of intimate relationships and years of research-backed frameworks that are derived from what actually works in a thriving marriage and not based on an idealistic, generalized projection of what a relationship should be. It includes personalized assessments of the couple’s relationship-dynamics, stress-maps, personality, strengths, growth areas, and much more.
