I’ve Read The Surrendered Wife – Do I Need To Take The Course?

 

Women do surrender successfully by just reading The Surrendered Wife book, nevertheless the seminar provides women with the invaluable experience of learning the principles under the indirect supervision of a trainer who will help and guide them whilst their marriages are undergoing a change of culture.

Tell Me More About The Seminar – What Does It Involve?

 

Over a course of 8 weeks, women are guided by their trainer to take a close look at their marriages, and trained to implement the principles in a gradual and progressive manner. During the course of the seminar, women are provided with the support, advice and training they will need whilst surrendering.

 

The seminar consists of four e-books, which you will be working through at your own pace.  These e-books provide in-depth investigation into the principles of surrendering – completing the exercises, gradually implementing the principles of surrendering and participating in on-line forum discussions with the rest of the Seminar participants.  You don't have to worry about missing any ‘sessions’ as the material you need is all in your e-books.  The seminar is a thoroughly interactive experience, and ladies are encouraged to join in and share their experiences with the rest of the group.

How Much Time Commitment Is Required For The Seminar?

 

Ideally the seminar should be taken during a period where you don't have that many extra commitments going on – if you have exams, weddings, holidays planned, then you’re better off waiting till life returns to some normality before taking the seminar.  Having said that, don't postpone it too late as often the time is never right...!

 

If you were to take this seminar on a face-to-face basis, you would be meeting up once a week for 3 hours for duration of four weeks.  As we will be taking this Seminar online, you are advised to spend approximately half an hour per day to work on the exercises.

 

Does It Have To Take 8 Weeks To Complete?

 

No.  The 8 weeks allow for minor disruptions, family commitments, computer glitches, etc.  If you wish, you can complete it quicker – although it is not recommended to rush into it and try to complete it all at once or you be missing out on valuable a-ha moments!

 

How Much Will I Have To Share In The Discussions?

 

You can share as much, or as little as you wish.  You can ask when certain issues come up for you, or you can learn from others while they share.  If you have anything you would like to discuss but don't want to share with everyone else, you can choose not to answer or you can email me privately on: sara@malik5.com  

 

Please try to your best to maintain a  healthy forum for sharing experiences, by not slandering anyone or talking badly about anyone. If you want to share something which has happened between you and your husband, try to ensure you uphold your husband’s dignity by not degrading him, calling him names, etc.  Try to keep all feelings specific to yourself – no character assassinations please.

 

I Think Someone I Know Will Be On The Seminar – How Do I Share My Progress But At The Same Time Keep My Privacy?

 

Many women have no reason to want to hide their identity, and are comfortable sharing their personal details with others.  This can be quite helpful when joining an improvement program such as this Seminar.  However, the intention at Cherished and Successful is to help women improve their marriages/relationships aswell as ensuring that it does not turn into a gossiping community.

 

To protect Cherished and Successful from turning into a place of gossip , please avoid the following:

 

·        Disclosing your real name – if you already have, please change it or rejoin with a new name,

·        Your specific location,

·        How many children you have, and what their ages are,

·        Your/your husband’s professional field,

·        Mentioning exactly which people you live with - if you live with an extended family, you don't need to mention exactly who is living with you, etc.

 

You don't have to lie about your details – just try not to be too specific.  Remember that we all have problems with our husbands, in-laws, children, other family members, etc.  and most people have similar problems that are not totally unique to you.  While it is important that you have a safe place where you can express yourself, it is also important that no one else’s reputation is hurt in the process. 

 

·        You can email me privately so that I know your personal circumstances and let me know if you would like these details to be kept between just the two of us.  Having said that, you have my guarantee that I will not be discussing your private issues with anyone third party, and I trust you to do the same about me and other Seminar Participants.

 

·        The simplest way to have some anonymity is to change your name that will be displayed on the forum, and profile picture.  Click here to find out more. – Remember your email addresses will never be disclosed to anyone unless you personally give it to them.

 

·        If you feel you have already shared too much to feel comfortable about, you can start completely afresh, by leaving the group, and rejoining under a different name – all your previous posts and blogs will be deleted.

 

·        If you want, you can join under two email addresses, sharing under one name and remaining anonymous under the other.
