FAQs
-
Can "The 7 Golden Rules" Really Improve My Relationship?
Definitely. If you use the 7 Golden Rules, we can promise you’ll enjoy more relationship happiness. But it’s important to point out the while the results are magical, the 7 Golden Rules are not magic. First, you’ll need to learn how to use them and then you’ll need to choose to use them consistently – but the results will be well worth the effort.
-
Coordinating Our Schedules is Challenging. Do We Need to Complete the Lessons of this Online Course Together?
