A mouse click to express your agreement, really with yourself, to explore your readiness for love. What are "Your Agreements"? It is time for another homework assignment. This one would be given at the end of a session. I would also negotiate with the couple what length of time they need to complete the assignment, if they were willing to do so. As you did in Homework Assignment 1, take a blank piece of paper and this time title it " Agreements of My Relationship." Take a moment or two to reflect on what you believe are the agreements that are
expected between yourself and your partner. These might be ones that you have spoken about
specifically or in passing. They might go back to the expression of vows, or just
yesterday. When you become aware of an agreement or expectation, write it down. At this
point, don't worry about accuracy or even if you are meaning the same as your partner. if
it occurs to you now, write it down. Do this exercise by yourself. Get all possible agreements written down before you share your list with your partner. (insert graph of two sets of agreements) Now share your list with your partner. Be sure to ask questions if you do not understand what your partner means in any of the agreements he or she has written. Once you have shared your agreements, move on to the next page. |
