Why I Became a Relationship Coach

I know how it feels to go through heartache, and I know what it took to repair my own marriage. I know how important it is to preserve and improve your relationship.

Every relationship has issues and emotional drama. It’s what you DO when the problems come along that makes a good marriage or a troubled one.

When I see marriages break up, I know many of them could have stayed together, and gotten past their difficulties. It hurts to see this, and reminds me of what I almost lost.

I have helped many couples through relationship troubles to restore a good or even better relationship. Let me help you get there!

The Most Common Relationship Problem

I often hear “I love him/her, but I’m no longer IN love.”

Frankly, this is BS!

What IS true:

Expectations are disconnected from reality.

Partners don’t understand what’s causing problems.

Needs are unrecognized and not being met.

The beginning of a new relationship produces chemical changes in the brain similar to drugs. These can last anywhere from 6 to 18 months before they fade away. Many people mistake this for "true love" only to find out later that it too is lost.

There are stages of love - romantic love becomes a power struggle, complete with rebellion before it moves into stability, commitment, and co-creation.

Divorce is not a solution to relationship problems. It doesn’t bring happiness and is often regretted. And when children are involved, the partners never really escape each other or their problems, and the impact to the children is felt throughout their lives. I have seen the damage divorce can do, and it is heartbreaking, and usually avoidable with the right help.
