Couples Foundation Session
Registration Fee: AED 600 per couple
Inside the Workshop
For partnership that deserves a shared understanding of money.
The session begins with a structured exercise that surfaces what each of you assumes the other already knows, manages, or has thought through. Most couples discover they understand less about each other’s financial world than they imagined, not because anyone has done anything wrong, but because life settles into patterns and some conversations never quite happen.
We then move through the four domains every household navigates: insurance, banking, investments, and estate planning. Together, we look at how decisions are currently being made, by one of you, by both of you, or simply through habit, and we name what changes if you start making those decisions together.
We close by identifying one practical commitment per couple: one conversation to continue at home this month, one document to look at together, and one decision to make in the next ninety days. Small enough to follow through on. Meaningful enough to change how you work as a team.
You leave with a written summary of your session, yours to keep and return to privately. From here, you build a shared understanding.
What you’ll walk away with
Some of the most important financial conversations happen before there is a reason to have them.
Couples where…
One of you handles the finances and the other doesn’t, and you both quietly suspect that needs to change.
Couples planning…
A major life transition – a new business, a property purchase, a parent moving in, a child’s education abroad – and wanting to think it through together.
Couples who’ve…
Been married long enough that “we’ve always done it this way” has stopped being a reason and started being a problem.
Couples who…
Have never had a fight about money – which sometimes means you’ve never had the conversation either.
When I tell people about this session, the first reaction is almost always nervous laughter – and then, within a minute, “actually, we should probably do that.”
The nervousness is the point. The conversation we’re inviting you into is the one most couples have been deferring for years, sometimes decades. It is structured precisely because structure is what makes it feel safe to start.
You will not leave this room having solved every financial question in your relationship. You will leave it having had the conversation, together, for the first time. Everything that comes after that is easier.
I’d be honoured to host you both.

FAQs
We trust each other completely. Does shared understanding still matter?
Trust and visibility are different things. Many couples realise they know less than they expected about how decisions are being made.
What if we discover gaps or disagreements?
That is useful information, not failure. It is easier to respond to differences when there is time and space to think together.
What if we leave with more questions than answers?
That is often progress. Better questions usually lead to better decisions.
Can we attend with friends?
Yes and many couples do. Several of our strongest sessions have included two or three couples who came together. Just book individually so each couple gets their own confirmation and registration.
Is this confidential?
Absolutely. Nothing said in the room leaves the room. Your written summary is yours alone – we keep no copy. Anonymised patterns may inform our research and future curriculum design, but never anything attributable.
Is this culturally appropriate for our background?
The session is designed to work across the cultural mix of couples living in the UAE – Emirati, Gulf, South Asian, Western expat, and beyond. The structure adapts to whatever each couple brings into the room. Nothing is assumed about how your household should make decisions.
What happens after the session?
You leave with a written summary of your own session and one concrete commitment. We send a single follow-up message thirty days later asking whether you kept the commitment – that’s it. No upsell, no products, no list you have to unsubscribe from.
Do we both need to attend?
Yes. The session only works if both of you are in the room. If your partner can’t make this date, please book a future session rather than coming alone – the format is designed around the two of you being present together.
