The purpose of Strategic Planning is to determine and define long-term goals, and then outline the pathway to achieving those goals. When applied to marriage, Strategic Planning can be an effective tool for making sure two people are sharing similar thinking and are prepared for those times when their thinking differs. This workbook helps couples start conversations and hold discussions about things that will be a part of a couple's daily life, like money, schedules, kids - things that seem like common sense basics, but things that sometimes do not get discussed until later. By working through the pages of this workbook, couples will have an opportunity to talk through the essential possibilities of conflict in marriages, set goals together, and strategically plan what to do, together, to resolve areas of disagreement. By having a plan, individuals will be able to more easily reach their goals as a couple.
