option.org/programs/resources... -- The Option Institute's HAPPINESS HITS Video Series
Barry Neil Kaufman, best selling author of Happiness Is A Choice and Son-Rise: The Miracle Continues and the Co-Founder of The Option Institute, The Son-Rise Program®, and the Autism Treatment Center of America™ provides the principles for happy negotiations for couples, or parents, or any relationship.
Does your relationship seem like a lot of hard work? Or, are you and your partner completely on autopilot? Perhaps you have a great relationship that others envy, but still want more.
"CouplesCourse has been the best investment of time and money that I have ever spent. This is better than any vacation, cruise, or honeymoon I could ever imagine. Our relationship and our lives are forever changed. This is a week of happiness, love and learning that will last a lifetime. I highly recommend this course to all couples, old and young. "
~Kendal Webster, U.S. Navy,Hawaii
No matter where your relationship is, the CouplesCourse, available exclusively at The Option Institute, can help you make it richer, more loving and more rewarding. Taught primarily by The Option Institute founders, Barry "Bears" Neil Kaufman and Samahria Lyte Kaufman who have successfully navigated the bumps and hurdles of a 48-year relationship, CouplesCourse will supercharge your relationship.
The course is built on a simple yet profound concept: your partner doesn't make you happy or unhappy. You have the power to decide how you feel, regardless of what your partner does!
Imagine a relationship liberated from the blame game. No more "You don't care", "You hurt me", "You don't appreciate me". When partners take ownership of their own feelings and experiences, the door swings open for limitless expressions of love and affection -- without conditions, without blame and without manipulation.
In CouplesCourse learn the keys to:
• Honest Exploration: Get past the smoke screens and focus on the real issues
• Intimacy: Enhance warmth, joy, passion and humor
• Happy Negotiation: Navigate disagreements with practical tools for lasting resolutions
• Healing: Heal old hurts -- move your relationship into the present
• Celebration: Become the best thing that ever happened to your partner, and vice versa
"Couples Course was an incredible week. The tools that I have learned will help me in my quest for a love for myself and my spouse and our relationship. It feels like it will be easy to be successful using the tools of dialogue, negotiation, deep loving and meaningful conversations, authentic commitments and trust of actions. I believe this week has been a life changing experience."
~Jon LaFontaine, Fire Safety Coordinator, NY

Very Cool! Couples Course was great and the happy negotiations exercise helped us both aware of how many times we used sulking, pouting, anger etc. to try to get what we wanted. What a difference when negotiating respectfully, happily and really listening to another's wants (but knowing I can still decide).
