11 Conversations Every Couple Needs to Have (Self-Paced)
A relationship course for couples who want to build something strong from the start
Most couples are great at planning a life together. Fewer are great at talking about it. This course changes that.
Many couples spend more time planning a vacation than they do talking about the things that actually shape a relationship — money, family, conflict, intimacy, values. Not because they don’t care, but because nobody hands you a roadmap.
This course is that roadmap.
Build a Stronger Foundation — Before You Need One
Whether you’re at the beginning of a big commitment or simply want to deepen what you already have, this course guides you and your partner through 11 essential conversations that research shows matter most for long-term relationship success.
You’ll discover where you’re already aligned, where your differences lie, and how to talk about both — openly, honestly, and without it turning into a fight.

What’s Included
PREPARE/ENRICH Relationship Assessment — One of the most well-researched couples tools available. You’ll each complete the questionnaire and receive a personalized Couple’s Report — a clear snapshot of your relationship strengths and the areas worth paying attention to. Used by over 3 million couples worldwide.
11 Video Lessons — Guided by Jill, each lesson walks you through one key relationship topic — with context, insight, and prompts to get you talking in a way that actually goes somewhere.
Couples Workbook — Structured exercises to help you reflect, discuss, and land on concrete action steps together — not just good intentions.
What You’ll Walk Away With
- A shared framework for open, honest conversation — even on the hard topics
- Clarity on the differences between you, so they don’t become stumbling blocks later
- A relationship vision you’ve built together
- Practical next steps to keep moving forward
The 11 Conversations
- Personality — understanding how you’re each wired
- Personal Stress Profile — how you each respond under pressure
- Communication — building a shared language
- Conflict Management — navigating disagreement without damage
- Money & Financial Style — one of the top sources of relationship stress
- Intimacy & Affection — what you each need and how to ask for it
- Family of Origin — the patterns and expectations you both bring
- Roles — who does what, and whether it’s working
- Children — aligning on one of the biggest decisions couples face
- Beliefs & Values — what you each stand for
- Relationship Goals & Check-ins — how to keep growing together

This Course Is a Great Fit If You’re…
→ Moving in together and want to start on solid ground
→ Engaged or newly married and ready to invest in your relationship
→ A couple who’s doing well and wants to stay that way
→ Looking for a structured way to have conversations you’ve been putting off
This Course ISN’T The Right Fit If…
This course is educational, not therapy. It works best when both partners feel safe and relatively settled. It’s not the right starting point if:
- Conflict regularly escalates — verbally or physically
- You’re not confident you can discuss these topics without it becoming a fight
- There are active substance use issues in the relationship
If any of these apply, individual couples counselling is a better first step — and I’d be glad to help with that. Book a free consultation →
A Note From Jill
I’ve been a PREPARE/ENRICH facilitator for years and have seen how much clarity these conversations can bring — both for couples I work with in counselling and for those who simply want to be intentional about their relationship. This course gives you access to that same process, at your own pace.
