Lektion 1
Where Are We At? Primary Partner
Welcome to today's module, which is about bringing awareness to the difference between commitment and monogamy. Today’s topic also serves as a reminder to who your primary partner is and why you chose for him or her. The first thing we want to remind you of today, is that an open relationship, just like any other type of relationship, needs continuous work. We believe that no type of relationship is harder or easier to successfully achieve than any other. We also believe you need to be willing to work and develop in order to create a lifelong partnership with your primary partner, no matter what set of agreements you choose for.
Lektion 2
Continuous Choice And Continuous Change
Welcome to today's module, which is a check-in, maybe even a reality check. This module helps you to become clear how you got where you are now, and what you might want out of the future when it comes to your relationship.
Lektion 3
Trust, Honesty And Levels Of Transparency
Welcome to today’s module. Today's topic is probably the biggest topic when it comes to considering an open relationship. Today we talk about trust. Any kind of relationship needs trust in order to work. But when considering an open relationship, you get confronted when there is even a little bit of trust lacking. You need to fully trust each other, because almost all problems and negative emotions start in your imagination and the unknown, and both of these worlds are fueled by distrust and deflated by trust.
Lektion 4
The Dance Between Commitment And Freedom
Welcome to today's module. The previous topic we explored was ‘trust, honesty and transparency’, and once you two achieve or create a certain level of trust, something special will happen. You will start getting a sense of commitment in your relationship. And commitment is today's topic, so let’s have a look now at what it is, why it is important, and how it is created.
Lektion 5
Bring In The Power Of Gratitude
Welcome to today’s module. Today’s topics are gratitude, self worth and confidence. All of these are important for any relationship but even more so when considering an open relationship, so let’s look at each of these individually and also in connection with each other.
Lektion 6
Not How Much But How You Talk / Quality Of Communication
Welcome to today’s module. Today’s topic is quality communication. It’s not possible to have an open relationship without high quality communication. It is as plain and simple as that. You need to be able to notice, listen and comprehend thoroughly, and you also need to be able to articulate and express yourself in a high quality.
Lektion 7
How Boundaries Actually Expand Your Relationship
Welcome to today’s module. Today’s topic is boundaries. Boundaries are extremely important in an open relationship as they bring clarity of the playing field, and clarity around you and your partner's capacity to go beyond the traditionally accepted norms. Boundaries might seem “not fun” and limiting at first, but they are actually creating lightness and beauty when communicated correctly.
Lektion 8
Play, Play, Play
Welcome to today’s module. Today’s topic is play. Now when you hear ‘play’ within an open relationship course, the first thought that probably comes to mind is you engaging with other people than your partner. But being playful with new people is not what we will talk about today, because being playful with new people comes easy. Today's topic is about why it is so important to keep being playful with your primary partner.
Lektion 9
How To Use Intimacy As Juice & Jealousy As Fuel
Welcome to today’s module. Today’s topics are intimacy and jealousy, and we will look at different expressions of these two. When it comes to intimacy, we can differentiate. There is the intimacy between the two of you, the intimacy between one of you and an outside partner, and the intimacy of one of you and your partner's outside connection. The last type of intimacy brings us to the topic of jealousy which is of course a natural feeling which can be experienced in a healthy way. In an unhealthy way you could be jealous of your partner for their experiences, or jealous of your partner's flirt for being with your partner. There is a lot to unpack.
Lektion 10
Start Slow And Stay Flexible
Welcome to today’s topic, which is ‘starting slow and staying flexible’. Both have already been mentioned in this course, but before you dive into an open relationship, we believe it’s important to talk a bit more about pacing yourself and staying flexible.
Lektion 11
Detach And Reconnect
Welcome to the last module of this course. We want to wish you well, and we also want to talk about one more short topic, which is to not be afraid of the constant connecting, detaching and reconnecting. This is happening in any relationship but in an open relationship, the detaching & reconnecting is right in your beautiful faces.
