Understand your internal drivers: and how your spouse is triggering you
Process the pain of past injuries: making you stronger and less reactive
Restore hope for your relationship’s future: with practical strategies

FAQ’s
SmartLoving BreakThrough Online is suitable for individual spouses (or couples) who are experiencing stress or unresolved conflict in their relationship, or whose relationship is ‘gridlocked’; ie those who can’t seem to move beyond past hurts to progress their relationship. It can also be very helpful to those who are separated or divorced.
BreakThrough is practical and solution focused, so you will learn strategies you can start applying today – with or without your spouse – to move your relationship forward.
You will learn about arguments; how they start and how they escalate. You will learn how to identify and understand your deeper needs, as well as processing the pain of past injuries. You will also uncover your conflict triggers and internal drivers so that you can recognise how and why your spouse (intentionally or unintentionally) triggers a reaction in you.
There are various individual activities to complete and prayers to recite at the beginning of each lesson.
The course takes from 3-4 hours to complete. There are videos to watch as well as individual activities to complete. To make the most out of the course, we suggest you take your time completing the activities and progress through the course sequentially.
All you need a computer/tablet/mobile device with high-speed internet access, the printed handouts and a pen.
BreakThrough Online uses the power of both paper and digital media. Your course comes with a digital PDF with permission to print one for you and your spouse (if you are doing the course together). It is available to download in Lesson 1 of the course.
