Falling in love is the easy part, PAIRS Founder Lori Gordon often says. Sustaining love, nurturing love, creating and maintaining a relationship in which love can not just survive, but thrive, that’s what creating extraordinary relationships is all about. PAIRS stands for Practical Application of Intimate Relationship Skills. PAIRS is for any couple: if you have a good relationship that you want to make even better, or you’re struggling with distance; unresolved anger, resentments or hurts; or difficulty communicating or creating as much intimacy as you would like.
Extraordinary relationships don’t happen by accident. Look around. You won’t have to look very far. Do you know how to tell the married couples in a restaurant? Sadly enough, it’s usually those who aren’t talking to each other. It didn’t start out that way. And it doesn’t have to be that way.
PAIRS is invaluable for couples in any stage of relationship, from dating or engaged couples, newly married couples, long-term relationships and/or those on the brink of separation or divorce. Whether you’re having a good relationship that you just want to make better, or are having serious problems, PAIRS can help you. PAIRS technology offers participants knowledge and skills to talk and listen to others with empathy and compassion, to understand emotions in themselves and others, to deal with conflict and differences in ways that strengthen — rather then destroy — relationships, and much, much more. PAIRS is an incredible personal journey of self-discovery and learning that will enable you to truly connect with the most important people in your life — including spouses, children, friends and even co-workers.
You’ll come out of PAIRS with a tool chest (graduates call it a ‘treasure chest’) overflowing with skills, knowledge and experiences that make extraordinary relationships possible. From the daily temperature reading and dialogue guide to fair fight for change and caring behaviors, PAIRS is filled with dozens of usable, practical skills that you can put to use to sustain love, pleasure and happiness in your relationships. The experience of thousands of couples who have taken PAIRS since 1975 has confirmed — over and over again — that PAIRS works!
