Relationship courses for couples who want to talk and listen better

Five self-paced courses on communication, conflict, trust and family boundaries, with check-ins and scripts you can work through together or on your own.

  • 5 courses
  • Tools in every course
  • Certificate included

Every couple argues. What helps a relationship last is less about avoiding disagreements and more about how you handle them: listening properly, cooling down before things escalate and repairing afterwards. These skills can be learned, and they get easier with practice.

Our relationship courses turn that idea into weekly habits. You will find a speaker-listener method for difficult topics, a cool-down plan for heated moments, a structured way to rebuild trust and scripts for agreeing limits with in-laws. Each course works best when both partners take part, but one person can still make a real difference by changing how they respond.

The courses are general education, not relationship counselling, and they are written for relationships where both people feel safe. If a partner controls, threatens or hurts you, or you feel afraid at home, the problem is not communication. 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732) offers free, confidential counselling day and night.

What the relationship tools do

  • Weekly check-in prompts: a short, regular conversation about what went well and what needs attention.
  • Speaker-listener and fair-argument cards: simple rules to keep difficult conversations on track.
  • Conflict cool-down plan and repair script: agree how to pause, and how to come back and make up.
  • Trust rebuilding plan and transparency agreement: clear steps and promises, reviewed together over time.
  • Warning-sign and counselling checkers: private checks that show when it is time to get outside help.

When to get outside help

If you are afraid of your partner, or they control, threaten or hurt you, contact 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732), which answers day and night. In an emergency, call 000.

If you are worried about your own behaviour in a relationship, MensLine Australia (1300 78 99 78) offers confidential support at any hour.

If arguments keep repeating, trust feels impossible to rebuild, or one of you is struggling with low mood or anxiety, talk to your GP about counselling. Lifeline is on 13 11 14 if you need to talk to someone now.

Relationship courses: your questions

Do we both need to do the course?

It works best together, and many tools are designed for two. If your partner is not ready, you can still do it alone: changing how you listen and respond often shifts the whole conversation.

Is this the same as couples counselling?

No. It is general education with practical exercises. A counsellor can help with deeper or long-running problems, and the courses include a checker to help you decide when that might be useful.

Is it normal for couples to argue?

Yes. Disagreements are part of any close relationship. The courses focus on arguing fairly and repairing afterwards, rather than trying never to argue.

What are the warning signs of an unhealthy relationship?

Signs include a partner who controls your money or phone, stops you seeing friends or family, puts you down, threatens you or makes you feel afraid. These are not communication problems, and 1800RESPECT can help.

Are the courses only for married couples?

No. They suit any couple, married or not, at any stage, including partners who have just moved in together.

Can I keep my answers private from my partner?

Yes. Your entries are saved to your own account. The shared tools, such as the weekly check-in, are designed to be filled in together if you both choose to.
