While that may be the preferred way of doing it, it may not work for your family life.  So, watching them separately will work just fine too.  The important part will be learning the skill at the same time so that you can have fun practicing it together!

The 8 videos are about 20-32 minutes long.  You can stop and restart as you need to.  And you can use the Workbook to help your weary brain retain some of what you're learning.

First, I am glad that you know and desire to be a unique couple, raising your own unique family.  And while friends and family may mean well, things don't always turn out well.   What to do?  Be sure you (as a couple) are on the same page - using similar words and actions to anticipated situations.  Practice at home, alone, together when there is no pressure. Have a word or signal that lets the other person know you need support.  Stay polite, self-controlled and clear about what you want the ending of the situation to be. So, bedtime at Grandma's you want to be close to the same as bedtime at your house.  But Grandma allows scary movies, lots of sugar and late nights.  So, you - as mom or dad, talk with Grandma about why you prefer bedtime more in your guidelines - and listen to her need to just relax and love the kids and bend the rules for once.  Together you ask her to respect your requests to have a smaller snack, and let the kids watch what you pick out, and work towards calmness and lights out within 15 minutes of their normal bedtime.  Ask Grandma if she is willing to do this - as you also inform the kids that bedtime at Grandma's is very much like bedtime at home...and you want them to be able to sleep at Grandma's a lot...so do what she says - and what mom and dad say.  Try it, tweak it.  If Grandma can't do your bedtime routine, then you might save her sleep overs for when it's Ok that the kids are crazy for the next 24-48 hours afterwards.

This course was researched and written for couples with young children (7 years old and younger).  The tensions in the marriage grow as the couple strives to figure out how to stay the fun-loving couple they were before kids as well as figure out how to be awesome moms and dads. 
The course it aimed at helping couples early on in parenting figure out how to navigate the joining of both paths - the marriage and parenting paths.  

So, yes - be married or coupled with young children.  Do not be on the path to divorce, but rather on the path to upgrading your best selves.  Be prepared to learn how to improve your marriage connections, as well as your love, attention and directions with your littles.  

PS - If you are struggling with addictions or abuse, please use the contact tab at the top of the website and I will help you find more appropriate and personal support. 

You will have access to the course for the lifetime of the course.  There may be other iterations of it in the future, which you will also access.  

While the course is very thorough, knowledge without personal application is not wise. So, I offer the Learn, Explore and Practice packets with each module (LEP's) as well as time to talk succinctly with me after each module to help you apply the skills using your personality and family dynamics.  The FB group helps with gaining other couple's support and ideas, as well my professional direction when appropriate. The blend will help you up level your marriage and your connections with your kiddos!

 I am glad you are paying attention to your budget! This is a comprehensive course - meant to help you with our connections and communication with your spouse/partner as well as your kids....so no need to purchase a marriage-growth course and a parenting course.  And, the lifetime access let's you come back time, after time for refresher and refocus.  If your finances are overwhelmed but your marriage and family are holding on, please contact me (via the contact tab) and we can talk about other options.
