Relational Life Therapy is the 21st century solution to an
“endangered specie;” that is, marriage. With divorce
rates hovering around 50%, new skills and beliefs are needed
by partners for the relationship to continue in harmony over
the life-span. RLT has a specific technology to help couples
learn these skills. Relational skills are crucial to learn
for couples recovering from an affair or traumatic event.
Learning relational skills can help enhance relationships
suffering from the “doldrums,” with passion and
energy at low ebb.
In RLT, the therapist is active and relentless in identifying
the “losing strategies” and diagnosing the maladaptive,
defeatist and negative “dance” that defines the
couples’ interactions. Once partners can see how they
both contribute to the repetitive conflict or fight, they
are ready to understand the relevance of family of origin
to relationship dynamics. Work then moves to teaching the
relational skills and “winning strategies.” Using
this therapy, couples can expect significant change in their
relationship in three to six months.

RLT teaches that intimacy is a practice and the relational
skills that are necessary for enhanced intimacy can be taught.
Relationships often go out of harmony (into disharmony) as
part of flow of life. However, a couple needs to know how
to repair disharmony so that good relations and emotional
connectedness can be restored. RLT is a skills-based treatment
yet attuned to the emotional connection between partners and
amplifies this when in question. The therapist names what
is “deformed” about the relationship, explains
what relationship defeating behaviors are being enacted and
then provides the tools to correct the problematic relational
behavior.
