SMART - Marriage Solutions

SPECIFIC:  Solutions for couples need to cater specifically for their needs, whilst referring to general principles applicable to all. We are therefore here to identify and lay down viable principles that they can follow.

MEASURABLE: In each case an appropriate time-frame is needed to suit their progress, this can guide the clients to a short-term goal.

ACHIEVABLE: Both the spouses take a ‘positive’ approach in restoring, repairing or building foundations for a healthy relationship, and setting goals that can be reached.

REALISTIC: Whatever is possible and a ‘Can do attitude’ will fulfil immediate short-term problems that can be overlooked, together with longer term solutions.

TIPS: Stick to key and instant ‘advice patterns’, ‘immediate solutions’ to general problems which we disseminate.
