Love & Relationships Workbook™

You do not love the way you love and show up in relationships (romantic AND non-romantic) the way you do by accident. You were shaped into it. This 21-page workbook takes you through the four pillars of relational transformation — attachment, communication, boundaries, and influence — with the research, the Scripture, and the structured exercises to change how you love for good.

Most people know something needs to change in their relationships. They just do not know where to start — or why the same patterns keep showing up in every relationship they have ever been in.

This workbook is where you start.

The Love & Relationships Workbook™ is a 21-page guided resource that takes you through the four most important dimensions of relational health — in the specific cultural, spiritual, and emotional context of African and diaspora men and women. It does not talk around the hard things. It names them. And then it gives you the exact tools to work with them.

What is inside:

Week 1 — Attachment Styles: A 12-question self-scoring Attachment Style Assessment that identifies your dominant pattern — anxious, avoidant, or fearful-avoidant. An Attachment History Map across five relationship types. And a vivid exercise for describing what secure attachment would actually feel like in your body — not as a concept, but as a lived experience.

Week 2 — Communication & Conflict: Gottman's Four Horsemen — criticism, contempt, defensiveness, stonewalling — mapped onto African household dynamics with specific antidotes for each. A full communication style audit. Five I Feel Statement rewrites from real blame statements. And your personal Fighting Fair Agreement.

Week 3 — Boundaries in Love: The Family Love Audit — naming the unspoken rules about love that you inherited and are still obeying. The Boundary Language Builder with three practice scenarios and exact language for the boundary you actually need to set. And the full Love Language Inventory with a five-language reference table and a sharing framework.

Week 4 — The Rehoboam Code: An Influence vs Manipulation comparison table. The Three Circles Audit. And the Personal Board of Directors — five role cards for the Mentor, the Peer, the Challenger, the Intercessor, and the Connector, each with qualifying questions and fill-in space.

Every week closes with four deep reflection prompts before moving forward.

This workbook is for you if you are tired of the same relational patterns producing the same relational pain. If you love deeply and are often left depleted. If you have never had language for what goes wrong in your closest relationships — and you are ready to finally have it.
