All NewCouple Tele-Classes are team taught by Seana McGee and Maurice
Taylor, co-authors of The New Couple. One hour in length, each class
starts with a short lecture, followed by an exercise and closing
with open class discussion. Student sharing is on a strictly voluntary
basis; we do not ask you to identify yourself other than your first
name and where you are calling from. This offers students far greater
anonymity than the traditional classroom setting.
Do I Need to Prepare for Class?
Just bring an open mind and open heart. And don’t worry: There won’t be any tests! All teaching is based on the information contained in The New Couple and the “Ten New Laws of Love.” And while we don’t ask you to read The New Couple as a formal textbook, we do suggest you give it a skim. (The New Couple is available at bookstores everywhere and online). If you have a chance, also take the NewCouple Quiz for singles or couples (featured both at the beginning of the book and online). As you see below, each class corresponds to certain Laws of Love/Chapters, and though this advance reading is helpful, it is by no means mandatory.

NEWCOUPLE TELE-CLASS CURRICULUM
For COUPLES, SINGLES and COUNSELING PROFESSIONALS
Class Title and Number: “The New Mixed Marriage” – M101
Class Description: Are you currently – or have you ever been – in a relationship with someone who is unwilling to “work” on the relationship, who simply can’t see the benefit of getting outside help or education to keep the relationship healthy and passionate? This class addresses the ever-growing phenomenon we’ve labeled the “New Mixed Marriage” to help you learn how to deal with the frustrating relationship you find yourself in -- or keep from landing in another.
Corresponding Reading: The New Couple -- Introduction; Chapters 1, 2 & 7
For COUPLES (or INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS of COUPLES)
(Each of the following Tele-Classes may be taken singly or as a series of 4.)
Class Title and Number: “Taming the Beast Within and Without, Part I” – C101
Class description: Whether we wage a “hot” war with loud voices or a “cold” war with silence, sighs, sarcasm and judgment, unidentified and mismanaged anger is one of the most under-acknowledged and hurtful problems in modern relationships. Part I of this class will teach you how to 1) recognize all forms of anger and 2) keep them from escalating to the point of no return.
Corresponding Reading: The New Couple -- Introduction; Chapters 3 & 6
Class Title and Number: “Taming the Beast Within and Without, Part II” – C102
Class description: Even those of us who know how to recognize anger have not been taught how to effectively dissolve anger and resolve conflict in our couples. This class will teach you how to get back to love and trust every time “negative” feelings threaten.
Corresponding Reading: The New Couple -- Introduction; Chapters 3 & 6
Class Title and Number: “Standing Up for Our Love: Balancing ’Family of Origin’ and Our Intimate Relationships” – C103
Class description: However well intentioned, those who raised us often have trouble conceiving that we’re separate, grown beings. Or sometimes it is ourselves who can’t seem to shake old needs for the approval (or to avoid the anger) of our parents and siblings. Parent-pleasing is not about love and respect but a signal that we have some growing to do ourselves – and it can wreak havoc in our intimate relationships. In this class you’ll learn how you can start to healthily balance your first and second families.
Corresponding Reading: The New Couple -- Introduction; Chapters 2 & 7
Class Title and Number: “Self-Love in Couples: The Final Frontier” – C104
Class description: Irreconcilable differences are largely reconcilable if we understand their deep logic and gifts. This class will teach you how to identify and begin to neutralize entrenched conflict through an enlightened form of “ghost-busting.”
Corresponding Reading: The New Couple -- Introduction; Chapters 2, 7 & 9
For Singles
(Each of the following Tele-Classes may be taken singly or as a series of 4.)
Class Title and Number: “Singles, Chemistry and Essential Compatibilities” – S101
Class Description: How can we trust ourselves to choose a special someone who genuinely has the right stuff for healthy, long-term partnership? This class will teach you how by giving you a solid grip on the Law of Chemistry, the bedrock of true loving partnership, and possibly save you unnecessary heartbreak and confusion.
Corresponding Reading: The New Couple -- Introduction; Chapter 1
Class Title and Number: “Singles and Core Conditions” – S102
Course Description: Unconditional love may be heaven but unconditional relationship is hell. This class will help you clarify your own “non-negotiables” – an essential step not only to prepare you for a healthy future relationship but also to open your eyes to what may have so confounded you in the past.
Corresponding Reading: The New Couple -- Introduction; Chapters 1, 6 & 7
Class Title and Number: “Singles and Self-Love” – S103
Course Description: Did you know that the emotional “buttons,” blind spots, “over-sensitivity,” “over-reactivity” and out-of-control behaviors we exhibit with partners are symptoms of low self-love? This class will help you address old patterns of low self-love you know from past relationships to keep them from becoming obstacles in the next.
Corresponding Reading: The New Couple -- Introduction; Chapters 1 & 7
Class Title and Number: “The New Single” – S104
Course Description: Whether you’re “scared single,” intimacy “phobic” or feeling desperate to be in a relationship, this class will offer an open forum where you can bring your own personal questions, comments and concerns about past or future relationships.
Corresponding Reading: The New Couple -- Introduction; Chapters 1 – 10

NEWCOUPLE TELE-LESSONS
On a limited basis only, Maurice and Seana are teaching private NewCouple Tele-Lessons. Much like Tele-Classes (described above), Tele-Lessons are taught over the telephone and are based on the “Ten New Laws of Love” and the NewCouple model of relationship as presented in their book The New Couple. Unlike Tele-Classes, Tele-Lessons are private and individualized: Students can choose their own topics and times and a teleconferencing system is not necessary. Tele-Lessons for single people are taught by either Seana or Maurice; Tele-Lessons for couples are team-taught by both Maurice and Seana. Fees for Tele-Lessons are $100/hour for single people and $150/hour for couples.
Tele-Lessons are particularly helpful for students needing to discern whether they have NewCouple chemistry with a current or potential partner, for personalized training in NewCouple SuperSkills or for issues relating to Chapters 2 – Priority, 7 -- Self-Love and Chapter 9 – Walking.
To register and for more information on NewCouple Tele-Lessons, call toll-free at: 888-639-8612; or 415-332-8881.
