Our Promise to You

RobinandMichael63

Although we wish it were not necessarily so, we have faced difficult life challenges that often end marriages and relationships. Being tempered by loss and difficulty has made it easy for us to understand other couples and provide care and loving support. We tell this story to a friend in the audio.

We’ve been blessed by the opportunity to train and certify dozens of leaders in couples work—psychologists and social workers, ministers and rabbis, as well as military chaplains. We have grown from 30 years designing programs for national organizations while working with more than 1500 couples.

We develop couples retreats and coaching that delivers positive change quickly and predictably. Being able to synthesize the best from multiple relationship, communication and healing programs in which we are certified, has allowed us to select what is most useful for couples seeking a rapid improvement in understanding and happiness.

Our work is based in our own search for ways to understand each other better, to be less reactive, to fall in love more each day. Our many differences, both of temperament and perspective, create the opportunity to provide authentic demonstrations of the practices. Participants consistently say what really made it possible to shift old habits was seeing a real example of a couple coming to an understanding around a significant difference.

The focus is on practical tools that work even for people—especially for people—who are busy or stressed. You do not have to believe this will help in order for it to be effective—only your goodwill is necessary. We promise you a breakthrough experience.

Our Story—What Led Us Here

You Are Not Alone

There have been a number of times when we wondered if our marriage would make it through the challenges we were facing. We understand what this is like. The tools we learned made all the difference.

We have guided more than 1500 couples in the last 30 years through difficulties that are likely very similar to the ones you may be facing. We are here to help you navigate through your relationship struggles to a better life.

We are passionate about helping couples and families enjoy their lives together. Nothing is more painful than an unfulfilling relationship. When that is not working, everything else in your life suffers as a result.

Relating can be a hassle
Even though you love them a passel
You start off real nice
But then you think twice:
Did I make a mistake?
Is there no give and take?

Joy’s hard to find
When you’re losing your mind
It’s hard to know
Which way to go
Things are so fraught
My efforts are naught
How can I make things better?

I heard about this class
And figured… I would pass
But then, I thought again
If there’s any chance to win
I oughta give it a try
There’s lots of reasons why

Much to my surprise
I found love in my partner’s eyes
Now our life’s so sweet
At last I feel complete
