It's normal for couples to disagree and fight from time to time. We argue about huge things like money, and little things like which TV show to watch. Sometimes if a couple isn't getting along, a little intervention may be necessary. 
You're probably familiar with couples counseling, but have you ever heard of relationship boot camp? It could be seen as the last shot to mending a broken connection or as relationship maintenance, like bringing your car in for its 30,000-mile tune-up.
Relationship boot camp workshops are cropping up all over since divorce rates are skyrocketing. Relationship specialist Terry Real thinks this is because people never learned the skills needed to connect to another person. In his three-day relationship boot camp workshop, he teaches the basics like how to communicate clearly and honestly, how to listen, how to deal with conflicts, and how to argue respectfully. Relationship miracles don't come cheap, though; be prepared to spend $1,500 a couple.
Is this something you'd be willing to try?

This sounds awesome. It would be a great idea for an anniversary gift for me and my hubby to give each other down the road in a few years. We work at our communication and I can see us wanting to do something like this.
Before marriage we did DIY marriage prep with "The Conscious Bride's Wedidng Planner" as well as a three day marriage prep retreat. Fun stuff.
