Adult TCKs & Marriage

The beliefs we internalize during our formative years shape the way we build and sustain relationships—especially in marriage. This workshop is tailored for those who had a globally-mobile childhood and are now navigating marriage. Together, we’ll explore key aspects of the Third Culture Kid experience—emotional health, identity formation, a need for change, and coping with grief and loss—that may influence your marriage dynamics today.

Through guided reflection, we’ll dive into how common trends in the TCK experience may now affect intimacy with your partner. You'll have the chance to evaluate which patterns to keep, what to release, and how to bring greater intentionality into your marriage. Whether you're married to a fellow TCK or a monocultural partner, this workshop provides the tools to build healthier, more connected relationships.
