- STOSNY/LOVE IS A TELEPHONE COURSE STARTS TUES SEPT 11

> What station for the tele ed gig with Steve And Pat?
> Thanks, Jack

I guess calling the Stosny/Love event a TELE-Course understandably confused
people.  It's not on TV (it's not TELE-vision it's TELE-phone - though we
certainly didn't say that anywhere).  I'll resend the post because have had
so many inquiries. Also, you don't register through me, I'm just sharing the
info.  I've also had several requests asking if this will be a program that
will be available on DVD - that people can purchase to use with couples. Not
yet though I'm encouraging them to create a TOOB.  You can however purchase
their Denver keynote, info I'm told I left out of the last post. Order
session #757-011 on DVD, CD or as an MP3 download at
800-241-7785 or at http://www.iplaybacksmartmarriages.com

> How to Improve Your Marriage Without Talking About It!
> Pat Love, EdD and Steven Stosny, PhD
> "Honey, can we talk" can be the most feared words in the English language.
> Learn an approach that combines new brain research and a set of brief
> behaviors guaranteed to strengthen marriage. Best of all, men can do it
> without feeling they have to talk and behave like women.

Pat Love and Steven Stosny, keynote speakers at the Denver Smart Marriages
Conference, got very high marks with many of you saying you wished they had
more time. Here's your chance for additional training: a one-time, six-week
telecourse on their model and book: How
to Improve Your Marriage without Talking about It: Finding Love beyond
Words: Sept 11- Oct 16, six Tuesdays at 7 pm EDT. The sessions will feature
a half-hour presentation by Drs. Love and Stosny and a half hour of
questions from participants. Perfect to improve your own marriage or help
couples improve theirs (or your to give to your grown child - see next
post). 

Topics will include:
      Why we fight
      The Silent Male: What he¹s thinking and feeling
      The worst thing a woman does to a man
      The worst thing a man does to a woman
      Forget feelings, think motivation
      The only connection skill you need.

- INSTITUTE APPLICATIONS

> Diane, I see how I can apply to do a workshop (again), but is there a way to
> apply to do an institute?
> David 

Institutes, like keynotes, are by invitation only.  The procedure is to
first offer a workshop, then if by STRONG popular demand - "this needs to be
a full-day training" - we try it as an institute.  Also realize that simply
offering something as an institute is no guarantee it will work.  We had to
cancel 5 institutes in Denver for lack of interest/registrations.  It's
always a gamble to try to move from a workshop into training institute
category. If you think your session should be an institute, email a
description and we'll discuss it.
