It details the purpose of changing couples’ perceptions, avoiding fights, and building positive attitudes toward daily dialogue.

As we said earlier, the outline we had was only usable for those who experienced the program with us. We have now tried to do an outline without the presenting couple having to undergo the program first. This took sometime because many of our personal sharing were not included in the outline and we had changes as we went from one group to another.  \nWe hope that you can use this outline and have the same success as weare having in the Philippines.  \nMany parts of the outline were taken from the articles in the “Matrimony Magazine”. The author of these articles were Marge and Con Terr and Denie and Dee Stemmle from the United States. The Formation part of the 5th module on relational needs was taken from the tape presentation of Fr. Guido Heybaut from Belgium in the World Council Meeting in 1982.  \nWe have presented this to 6 groups with 7-10 couples per group. The participants were teams and non-teams. We have seen that it is more successful when the couples we were presenting the program to where also sharing what they experienced to another group of 4-5 couples the following week, which we call our Baby D.J. Since they had to make the same presentation, they tried to absorb more of our presentations and were encouraged to Dialogue.  \nIn the process of appreciating the Dialogue and having a positive attitude about it, the couples also underwent a lot of re-evaluations. What was very encouraging was the re-evaluation which came from their Dialogue happened at home and not necessarily from our 6 meetings. They were able to re-evaluate in the middle of the modern world.  \nWhy 90 days only? It is easier for couples to commit themselves to a short period of time (only 6 meetings) especially when they know there is an ending. If the invitation is open-ended and forever, then it is easy to miss a meeting and is very threatening.  \nOur experience with the 6 groups we met was that almost all finished the program and very rarely did anyone miss a meeting.  \nAlso, after experiencing a sharing group for 90 days they wanted to continue and we have offered them another 120 days, if they are interested. We  \na  \nthink for a start, 90 days is enough a commitment. After they taste a sharing group for 90 days, it is easier to invite them for a longer period.  \nWe have not included some reading materials in the e-mail because it can become voluminous, however, we are preparing hard copies of the outline together with some reading materials. If you are interested, please advise us so we can prepare one and mail this to you as soon as possible.  \nWe would also appreciate some feedback if you do get to use the outline and any suggestions that we might have to improve it further.  \nGood Luck and may the Daily Dialogue (a holy and special moment of your life) be a part of your relationship, and your life.  \nLet us own the Daily Dialogue!  \nDITOY and CORA ATAYDE  \nb  \nTABLE OF CONTENTS  \nWhy the Dialogue Journey?------------------------------------------ ii  \nPurpose of the Dialogue Journey---------------------------------- iii  \nFormat of the Dialogue Journey------------------------------------v  \nObservations to Help Presenting Couples----------------------vii  \nMeeting \\#1 Attitude is Everything----------------------------------1  \nMeeting \\#2 Feelings are Important-------------------------------15  \nMeeting \\#3 Stresses In Our Marriage---------------------------32  \nMeeting \\#4 Breaking the Three Minute Barrier---------------45  \nMeeting \\#5 Responsibility for My Needs-----------------------58  \nMeeting \\#6 Am I a Fun Person to Be With?-------------------77  \nWHY THE DIALOGUE JOURNEY  \n1. Many couples, and even some of our team, do not know how to Dialogue. The Dialogue technique is hard to learn by itself.  \n2. Even after the glow of the Weekend is over, many couples end up fighting when they Dialogue. Thus, the Dialogue is seen as a negative tool rather than a positive one.
