Getting Together

It’s great to be in a new relationship and you want it to be long-lasting and fulfilling. However, meaningful long-term relationships don’t just happen – they require you to:

• listen to each other
• learn to communicate well.

Lasting relationships are built on good communication which means:

• dealing with differences of opinion
• sharing values
• sharing a vision for the future.

Relationship education and skills training will get your relationship off to a good start. Services are available to help individuals, couples and families develop positive relationships including:

• help with positive parenting
• communication and problem solving skills
• relationship education in schools
• pre-marriage courses
• key transition courses, such as becoming a parent or a grandparent.
