Supporting relationships
Kataja is a registered association for the growth of lasting relationships. Kataja aims to support family wellbeing and co-operation, by helping those within the family become more aware of themselves, increasing communication skills and creative problem solving. Above all Kataja aims at supporting the couple's relationship which is seen as the nucleus in a family.
Kataja was founded in 1994 to gather together all the different organizations in Finland that organize courses for couples. At the moment Kataja ry has about 200 members and almost 30 of them are other associations and organizations in Finland. Kataja also arranges courses and projects for couples in different situations.
This is how some participants to our enrichment courses describe their experiences:
"I learnt that listening is gold." (Male, 47 yrs)
"I learnt that we are not alone with our problems and how much common good we have."(Female, 42 yrs)
"I want to keep going." (Male, 52 yrs)
"It was great to realize that we still exist as us."(Female, 31 yrs)
"Our relationship feels strong. I believe that we'll stay together despite our problems." (Female 39 yrs)
Putting energy and effort into your relationship can completely renew it. The every day life that you share with your spouse can get a new insight when you start becoming aware and using the potential you already have in your relationship.
