For the two of you

The Expat Marriage Workbook

A move abroad tests even strong relationships — not because something’s wrong with you as a couple, but because it strips away your usual supports, raises the daily stress, and asks you both to change at once.

This workbook helps you face that together, with honesty and care. Each section has two parts: On your own — private reflection you can each keep — and Together, prompts to actually talk through.

What’s inside

Where you are, how you talk, where you’re headed.

Six sections across three parts — each with private reflection first, then something to talk through together.

Part One

Where You Both Are

The Move You’re Both In
The Invisible Imbalance

Part Two

How You Talk & Repair

Talking When You’re Both Depleted
Too Much Weight on One Bridge
Repair & Appreciation

Part Three

Forward

Your Shared Agreement

A note on safety. This workbook is for two people doing hard, ordinary work together. It isn’t for relationships where there is abuse, control, or fear — if that’s your situation, please reach out to a professional or a local support line.

Who it’s for

For couples the move is testing.

The couple who moved together

Both changing at once, under new stress.

The lead + the trailing partner

Carrying an invisible imbalance.

The depleted pair

Talking past each other on empty.

Anyone wanting to face it as a team

With honesty, not blame.
