P.I.C.K. A Partner
(Premarital Interpersonal Choices & Knowledge)
Is Love Blind?
Can you follow your heart
without losing your mind?
Your mind needs to know what to look for in order to shape an accurate profile of the person you are dating.
And your heart needs to know how to keep proper balances between the bonding forces which form the attachment in your growing relationship.
Much, if not all, of what a person will be like in a marital relationship can be clearly predicted during dating.
How to Avoid Marrying a Jerk
"A 'jerk' is someone who has resistance to change some problem area of their life...a repeating pattern of problematic behavior which hinders intimacy and your developing relationship."
Dr. John Van Epp
Premarital Interpersonal Choices: A Partner
Training Program by Dr. John Van Epp was
created based on a thorough review of the
research pertaining to this subject.
Throughout my 26 years of practicing Marriage and Family Therapy in Anchorage I have worked with individuals and with couples suffering from the pain related to a confusing or dissatisfying relationship. These folks have struggled to understand why they continue to find themselves in unhappy, disappointing relationships and why their relationship patterns continue to repeat themselves. They have worked hard to move beyond the "Love is Blind" experience and to be actively involved in learning how to create for themselves a healthy, satisfying, long term, committed relationship. This group program has been successful in teaching singles and singles-again, of any age, how to maneuver through the course of pre-marital relationships while lessening the risks of injury.
