The idea behind this concept started when
I was getting married.
My husband and I were looking for a non-denominational
class or teacher that would offer us some insights into each other and into marriage itself. We knew we could not learn
everything from a class, but we simply wanted to be educated on the traditional pitfalls of marriage and to be asked questions
we never thought to ask each other. We had a very difficult time finding what we wanted...something that was not based
in religion, that would focus on goals, not problems, and that would teach us skills to succeed. We
were looking for a guide.
As a Interpersonal Relationship Coach,
I decided to create the ideal coaching program for pre-marital couples.
Pre-Marital Relations Coaching is based
on the premise that knowing some things upfront could make it easier to work through issues as they appear in the relationship.
My personal philosophy is that, with commitment, relationships can work and work really well. There are, however, tools
and techniques that can make it easier.
Primarily, a couple discovers:
• Compelling insights into each other
as individuals
• How to build personalized, long-term
strategies and purpose for the marriage
• What expectations are realistic
• How to resolve conflict and build
consensus
• What they deserve from a loving relationship
and what boundaries are acceptable
• How to enhance and maintain intimacy
• How to be a true partner in a marriage
Most of all, they learn how to not only
be committed to each other, but how to also be committed to the marriage itself.
