Since 2006, Ignacio Marquínez (CONGRUENCIA) has been traveling to Cuba and offering Personal Development Workshops and Psychotherapy to some religious communities. In 2009 the program Successful Couple’s Life was born, and since then more than 10,000 couples have benefited from it. A program that the Cuban Episcopal Conference embraces as their own with an unconditional zeal, as an expression of its radical commitment to family.
The Program deals with these matters: self-esteem, the early stages of a relationship, as well as communication and emotional and sexual life in a relationship. Each of the four topics was introduced as a workshop with a duration of fifteen hours each. The workshop was a combination of theoretical inputs and many practical exercises.
Two goals are pursued with this proposal: firstly, when giving the workshops, each couple enriches them with their individual marital experience; and secondly, the enrichment that each couple gets from the experience of giving the Successful Couple’s Life Program to other couples.
