What do we do?

Offer a male and female coach working together with a couple to make sure each party is understood and gender barriers in communication are eliminated.

Coach with an emphasis on the present and future not driven by past issues or misdeeds.

Assist couples in creating mutually agreed upon specific short-term measurable goals.

Teach relationship skills by modeling and role-playing based on individual needs with encouragement and on-going assistance.

Emphasis on education – specific practices and techniques that are associated with strong relationships:

  • Learning skills to build intimacy and trust.
  • Learning skills to handle disagreement without damaging the relationship.
  • Learning parenting skills to better manage family issues that influence the quality of a couple’s relationship.
