Thank you for your willingness to share your time, energy and most importantly, your relationship for the sake of other couples in the role of Facilitators of the Ever MORE in Love Retreat/Workshop.

Preparing the talks is a lot easier than you may think.  The content that is taught on Ever MORE in love is scripted in a conversational tone which you can read or paraphrase as you like.  Only the portions in bold blocks, grey shaded with a solid bar, have to be presented verbatim. .  The parts that you have to write are your personal “sharings”, which are illustrations and examples from your own life, but you will have lots of help from us. 

 As you prepare to facilitate one or more of the exercises, you will have at your disposal several valuable resources includinThe Ever MORE in Love Presentation Outline

• Sharing Guides for each assigned exercise
• Sample Sharings illustrating how other couples have handled each exercise
• Mentality Notes (if available)
• A Workshop Couple who will discuss the objective of the talk, answer questions about content or process, and help you to choose the illustrations from your life that will be the most relatable and effective as well as making the content real, relevant, and motivational

In preparing to facilitate an assigned exercise, it is recommended that you first read through the Outline in its entirety to get a feel for the content and flow of the exercise.

Then, go through the Sharing Guide and think of examples that you might share from your own life in line with what the Guide calls for.  Follow the instructions for each sharing explicitly and answer any prompting questions.

Read the Sample Sharings as necessary to get a feel for what other couples have shared and to help you think of other examples that you might share.  

Write out a draft of your sharings in the Sharing Guide and email the file to your workshop couple who will review it and offer any edits or additional suggestions by using the track changes function in Word. Once they send you their suggested edits all you have to do is select “accept change” for those you are comfortable with, or reword them as you like and email back a finished final copy for final approval.

 That’s it!

 Our objective is to make this process as easy and painless as possible and to nurture the sexual atmosphere between you that will make you the most effective witnesses of the material you present.  Preparing to present is itself an opportunity to grow in your relationship, and we will help you to look at areas where there may be more for you to discover about yourselves or opportunities to grow closer as a couple.

 To avoid stress, the first draft of your sharings should be emailed as soon as possible and no later than one month prior to the weekend date.
