Eight evenings in a room with parents whose children arrive within weeks of yours.
Eight weeks · $400 · Before the birth,
or in the first light after it
You deal with each other first.
The bond between the two of you is the biggest single influence on the child you are carrying. So the work begins there, before it goes anywhere near cots, or feeding, or which pram.
Then you write a vow, in your own words, to somebody who cannot yet read it.
Nobody writes it for you and nobody tidies it afterwards. It is yours the way you said it, down to the space before the last line.
The Shape Of It
Seven evenings of the two of you. Then one where you stand up.
There is a ceremony about this.
Paige Lamoureux
Two Ways To Walk It
With other parents, a facilitator, and a night at the end where everybody is listening.
$400 · once
The same eight weeks, at your own pace, for the families a room can never reach.

Mine, and yours to strike. Two lines here are yours — there is a ceremony about this, and the bond between the parents being the biggest influence on the child. Every other line I wrote. The eight weeks are drawn as a rhythm rather than filled in, because their content is yours and is still unwritten — an empty week pretending to be a week would be worse than a line.
