A course for couples
Returning Back to Each Other
Sparking Connection
A live course for couples who love each other but have started to feel like roommates, strangers, or opponents. Exploring different ways to help you turn toward each other again.
Course starts in the Spring • Limited to 3 couples • $300 investment
Taught by Karem Muksed, LCSW, LMSW · Couples therapist in Chicago

Most couples tend to drift: across dishes, deadlines, exhaustion, and the small conversations that never quite happened. One day, you look up and realize you've been living next to each other, and not really living with each other. Learning the tools to spark to the connection is possible and can help your relationship come alive.
This course is about sparking the connection. It's built on the same process-based methods I use with couples, offering to help couples spark connection with each other.
