impressions
*Some excerpts
- It was just perfect for our family as we are raising our children. Content that I would like my partner to see and hear! I look forward to the next one.
- I thought it was important to have "dialogue" beyond "discussion" and not to end up parting ways. I thought it was important to share each other's visions and discuss what we should do to give shape to our visions. I thought I could make use of this in my communication at work!
- I just got married and wondered what barriers await me in the future? I joined the group. I thought that having a child would be dozens of times harder than I imagined...and I wanted to overcome them!
- We are expecting a baby and have a lot to discuss! Since there are some things that are left up to each other, I thought we should have a "couples' meeting" with a specific theme.
- When we clash in our discussions, I am tempted to give up and wonder if it is useless to talk about it, but I want to strengthen our relationship through "couple's meetings" instead of giving up!
- I felt that the marital relationship is the foundation of everything. Borrowing the methods of our predecessors, we will boldly tackle this issue. First, we will start by sharing the "Couple's Meeting!
- I felt that we need to consciously conduct 'couples meetings'. It was good to know that there are people in our company who are so distressed!
- The "thinking one-upper" story really stuck with me and also made me realize that my husband does a lot of things for me. My husband is from outside Suntory, but he is changing jobs because of the patter harassment (prejudice against fathers) at the company he works for. I would like to have a "couple's meeting" to discuss how to work, money, and other issues to overcome these problems. I am very touched to hear this in a very timely manner for our family's life!
- Maybe that was a postpartum crisis. Maybe we would have ended up divorced if we had taken the wrong step! I was reminded of so many verses that said, "I want to show my children that I have their backs. I want to be a parent who can show my back to my children...and show them how a couple should be! I strongly felt that I wanted to be a parent who can show my children how to be a husband and wife.
- The content of today's message sunk in so deeply...all I could do was sympathize. I wish I had heard this before I had a baby!
Part 2: How do you actually do it?

impressions
- After hearing about the first meeting, I would love to have a "married couples meeting"! I have been wanting to have a "married couples meeting" since I heard about the first one, but have not been able to invite my husband to one because I felt like he would not go through with it. It was very good to hear the experiences of the guests this time, such as "how to talk to each other. It made me think that I don't have to be afraid of being rejected. First of all, I will try to practice using the "Couple's Meeting" tool that you gave us. Thank you very much!
- I was so happy to see the warm messages and encouragement from Mr. and Mrs. Nagahiro, the lecturers, and the guests, that I couldn't help but cry when I looked at the archives. I am so glad to have been able to participate in this project and to have learned about the "Couples' Meeting! I would like to have a "Couples' Meeting" while starting over from a relationship where we can have daily conversations.
- I got an image of a completely different quality of dialogue by following the steps and documenting the couple's discussions, rather than just feeling that they are somehow done/not done!
- I think you are all very good at solving problems at work! I was a little relieved to learn that, just like my family, they are also having marital problems after childbirth and while raising their children!
- Based on her own experience, she wanted to do something about the participants' problems! I felt that I was saved by her thoughts and feelings. Thank you so much.
- Hearing about your experience with the "Married Couples Conference" has lowered the bar a bit in my mind!
- Even though I am unmarried, I was interested in the theme and attended the event. I learned a great deal!
- What do we want to become as a couple?" I realized the importance of having a dialogue about "how we want to be as a couple. First of all, I realized that I need to change myself.
- I am the type of person who is not good at discussions, so it was helpful to know various points.
- I thought it would be difficult to get started, so I think I will start by leaving the "Couples' Meeting" notebook at home and let it slowly percolate through the subliminal effect, and wait for the right moment to ripen!

The lecturers, Mr. and Mrs. Nagahiro, answered these questions and more.
impressions
- I was able to learn practical advice! I thought what you said about the problems behind the excuse of "I can't take the time" was spot on.
- While I was often unable to discuss things with my husband and wife for fear of getting into a fight, I found a way to break the ice. I decided to try another "couple's meeting" without giving up. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity!
- Thank you very much for this precious opportunity to hear Mr. and Mrs. Nagahiro's story in person. Due to lack of time and psychological hurdles, we have only had one "Couple's Meeting," but it was a good opportunity for us because 0 and 1 make a big difference. I will not waste the "Couple's Meeting" tool that you gave me as a gift.
- I was struck by his comment that "the impact of the marital relationship on children is immeasurable."
- I thought we were having a conversation, but maybe not a "dialogue"...? I thought so. I will try to have a "couple's meeting" this month! Thank you very much!
- First, I will open my "Marriage Meeting" notebook and write it down, and then I will discuss it with my partner as well.
- While I usually have many opportunities to talk with people my own age, I was able to make new discoveries by participating in this kind of event. It was also a great discovery for me to know that my seniors are also working hard despite their problems!
- What you said about "the way parents are influences the growth of their children" really resonated with me. Since we sometimes fight in front of our children, I will really try to be careful in the future. I would also like to conduct a "Couple's Meeting" to bring us closer to each other and answer each other's questions! Thank you very much.

Below are some comments from members of the "SUN-co-NEsT" management team!
Ms. Mana Shinohara
SUN-co-NEsT Founder
Central Executive Committee Member of THE SUNTORY UN!
Whenever we hold an event in our community, we use the chat function to communicate with participants and collect feedback through a post-event survey. I put it into practice! I was more than happy that we were able to help so many people learn and become aware of the value of the "Couples' Meeting. It was an event that made me reaffirm the value of the "Couple's Meeting.
Mr. Akihiko Hattori
SUN-co-NEsT management members
Manager, DX Strategy Department, Suntory Holdings Limited
A total of 159 employees participated in real time, and it was a good opportunity to have them think about their marital and family relationships according to their own situations and ideas! We also heard some cases where couples "actually used the notebooks to have a couple's meeting," so we would like to check back in time to see what kind of changes will emerge after this event.
Ms. Yoko Takii
SUN-co-NEsT management members
Quality Department, Suntory Wellness Ltd.
We were pleased to hear from people at various stages of life that they would like to participate! We felt a high level of interest in partnerships as a foundation for living, working, and raising children better. The comments we received after the event showed signs of change from everyone. As a community, we hope to continue to create opportunities for people to share their insights with each other, and to help people make their partnerships better in their own ways.
Akiko Nishizawa

Corporate Planning Department, Suntory Corporate Business Ltd.
We were able to realize once again this time that family and marital matters are of great interest. I hope that everyone who participated in the planning of this event was able to gain some insight into what was going on. While participating as an organizer, I learned a lot during the planning meetings, and it was a very meaningful time. We would like to continue this event on a regular basis with content that is approachable to everyone.
Ms. Chie Ando
SUN-co-NEsT management members
Suntory Limited, Kobe Branch (on maternity leave)
The four seminars and roundtable discussions were filled with very important learning that could not be heard anywhere else. I thought that the response to the "Couples' Conference" was due to the fact that many people are unable to talk to others about their marriages but are also troubled by them. I think it is no exaggeration to say that the marital relationship is the foundation not only of child-rearing but also of work. I am very grateful that you were able to intervene so deeply and offer concrete solutions. I wish all of our employees the best of luck with their future changes.
From Logista Corporation
I am Yuriko Nagahiro (wife) and Haruka Nagahiro (husband) of Logista Corporation.
The collaboration with SUN-co-NEsT, an in-house community of the Suntory Group, is an important step in line with Logista's vision, "For the children of the future," which has been promoting "Couple's Meeting" to solve social issues surrounding prenatal and postpartum couples as a childcare support company since its establishment in 2015, This is an important step toward Logista's vision of "creating a society full of couples who can create a better family environment for the children of the future.
How do we prevent and overcome the "crisis of balancing work and family", the "crisis of life" such as postpartum depression and abuse, and the "crisis of family breakdown" such as postpartum crisis and divorce? What kind of family environment should the couple who will become parents create for their children in the "home," the first social contact that children have with their parents? Without dismissing these issues as personal problems, Promoting "opportunities for couples to think and talk about their careers" from the workplace will not only commit them to "better growth for their children," but will also "support employees' lives themselves," including themselves as husband and wife, father and mother, which cannot be discussed only at work.
We believe that places like SUN-co-NEsT, where parents can connect with each other, share the difficulties, joys, and pleasures of balancing work and childcare, and recognize, learn from, and support each other will play an even more important role in the future. We at Logista will continue to do our best to contribute to better dialogue and partnership between married couples and to the future of their children through the "Couples' Meeting!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank...
Thank you to everyone at "SUN-co-NEsT" for finding "The Couple's Meeting".
The process of thinking and creating the content of the four collaborative events together was itself the very "dialogue" that the "Couple's Meeting" values! It was a most enjoyable and inspiring time. The chat room at each event was lively, and we were truly grateful for the thoughtful feedback we received after the event. I believe that this collaboration project was made possible by the management members, who were full of the "give it a try" spirit, and the participants, the Santorians, who had high expectations for this event. The vision of SUN-co-NEsT, More Happiness in Santrian's "Nurturing x Working" with Children! Interesting! We hope that the "Couple's Meeting" will continue to encourage you on your path toward the "Mere Old Man and Woman" in your own way. Thank you for your continued support!

About "Married Couples Conference
A "Couples' Meeting" is a place where you and your partner, who have decided to create a life together, can have a "dialogue" toward a better future and decide on actions to take.
It is not for the sake of one's own opinion or to change the other person's, but to create an answer with "us. Especially during the child-rearing period, the purpose is to create a "better home environment" for the child, the couple, and the family.
The family is the smallest unit of society and the very first society that children come into contact with. The "Couple's Meeting" supports the creation of a family environment that encourages positive "dialogue" about everything from small matters to important ones.
