Creating a 'Family Driving School.' Towards a future where everyone can design a family where they can live comfortably with their loved ones.
Maruyoshi Co., Ltd.'s marriage agency, aisaito, is launching a 'Family Driving School' workshop in spring 2026. This initiative, part of the April Dream project, aims to shift the perception of marriage from a 'goal' to 'lifelong learning,' fostering 'Ikukon' (Nurturing Marriage) and 'couple reskilling' to help individuals design fulfilling family lives.

Our company supports April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day for sharing dreams.
This press release is a dream of 'aisaito.'
Maruyoshi Co., Ltd. (Location: Minato-ku, Tokyo, Representative: Yoshihiro Takeshima), which operates the 'Marriage Agency aisaito,' supports the PR TIMES 'April Dream' project, which designates April 1st as 'a day to talk about dreams, not lies,' and declares its commitment to realizing a society where everyone can spread the 'power of family' to live comfortably with their loved ones.
As the first step towards this dream, we will launch a 'Workshop for Designing the Future of Family' in the spring of 2026.
■ Our Dream: From Marriage as a 'Goal' to 'Lifelong Learning'
aisaito's dream is to accompany individuals 'from encounter to grave' and eliminate post-marriage regrets like 'this wasn't supposed to happen.'
Modern marriage hunting tends to focus on conditions, but marriage is not a goal; it's a starting point for continuously nurturing a relationship.
We call this concept 'Ikukon' (Nurturing Marriage) and aim for a society where 'partnerships that resonate with human qualities,' such as vocal compatibility and comfortable silence, become the norm.
■ Why is this dream necessary now?
In our company's survey of 500 unmarried women, the top desired quality in a marriage partner was 'love and consideration.'
On the other hand, many expressed anxiety, saying, 'I can't imagine marriage going well.'
Furthermore, while reskilling is advancing in the business world, there are few opportunities to learn communication with 'family,' which is the foundation of life.
Therefore, we aim to popularize 'couple reskilling = relearning family communication' through our unique 'Family Power Method' based on psychology and human studies, and restore warm conversations to families across Japan.
■ Realizing the Dream: 'Family Driving School' Workshop for Designing the Future of Family
This workshop, starting in the spring of 2026, is, so to speak, a 'Family Driving School' for aligning one's 'self-axis' and 'family-axis' before forming a family.
Just as one learns at a driving school before driving a car, everyone inherently needs basic knowledge and a place for practice to operate the important community of family.
However, there is no place to systematically learn 'how to build a family,' 'how to maintain distance with a partner,' or 'how to nurture a relationship while valuing oneself.'
Therefore, aisaito will create a new learning culture of 'nurturing one's self-axis while simultaneously nurturing the family-axis.'
[Curriculum Overview]
In this workshop, we will cultivate the 'ability to design the future of family' through the following four steps:
● Session 1: Understanding the 'Foundation' of Family
Inventorying one's definition of family and reconstructing family values unconsciously inherited.
● Session 2: Designing Self-Axis and Family-Axis
Learning boundaries to protect one's individuality and the appropriate distance for comfortable coexistence with a partner.
● Session 3: Envisioning the Future Family
Articulating values and creating a 'future scenario' for dialogue with a partner.
● Session 4: Practice and Feedback
Completing one's own style of family management through one month of practice.

■ Members' 'Dreams of Family They Want to Design Themselves'
At aisaito, an increasing number of members resonate with the idea of 'designing the future of their family with their own hands' and are actually taking steps forward.
Here, we introduce some of them.
● "I want to spend relaxing time with my family and dog in a house with an ocean view."
No more daily commutes between home and work.
From now on, the desire is to create an environment where one can live without overexertion.
● "I want to create a home where my children will want to return."
Because their own upbringing felt somewhat stifling, they wish to design a family with a warm atmosphere.
● "Cherish everyday moments! Enjoy a calm yet dynamic daily life."
Dreaming of a future where, like their own parents, they gently support their children while also enjoying their lives as parents.
These are just a few examples, but the culture of 'designing one's own family' is steadily beginning to sprout.
■ Message from aisaito Representative, Ai Takeshima
My career so far has involved supporting people in moments of growth, whether in launching new businesses or in human resource development.
And now, having experienced my own marriage, pregnancy, and childbirth, I am convinced:
It is within the small unit of family that lies the power to support, nurture, and propel people forward.
Both romance and marriage are journeys of self-discovery.
It's about living with someone while valuing oneself, rather than losing oneself by conforming too much to a partner.
I want to spread the joy and depth of this through this workshop.
No matter how diverse family structures become, what remains in the end is the 'power of relationships.'
We will deliver that power throughout Japan.
