How can I possibly strengthen my marriage?
Maybe you have lost your connection or are feeling more like roommates than a couple. Or maybe you desire greater intimacy. Whatever your situation is, enrichment coaching makes good marriages even better.
Marriage coaching can help you improve your relationship and grow closer.
Your coaches consider you to be the experts on your relational issues, history, and desires. They will teach you relationship skills and train you to apply those skills in the areas you want to grow.
They will help you figure out what will work for you as a couple by guiding your discussions. Coaches will then help you come up with agreements about what you want to do differently to improve your relationship. They will also help you figure out what to do if you fall back into old patterns.
What Will Coaching Do for Me?
Coaching will help you better understand your spouse by giving you improved tools for communication, which will lead to a stronger, more intimate marriage.
Specifically it will help you to:
- Become a better listener.
- Share negative emotions without attacking your spouse.
- Figure out together how you want to handle anger in your relationship.
- Learn to recognize bitterness and its negative impact on your relationship.
- Understand and apply the power of forgiveness.
- Create agreements on how you will process conflict.
- Develop a problem solving process for those problems where “there is not resolution.”
- Appreciate and work with your personality differences.
- Develop a more intimate relationship.
- Create plans for future growth.
Marriage Coaching Reviews
I came into coaching thinking I knew everything. However, coaching changed our lives. Now we can express our feelings properly and really get to know each other. We are not afraid to open up. Our trust levels have grown so much, and our stress levels are ever decreasing. In the midst of coaching we faced joblessness, almost homelessness, severe illness and hospitalization, and we lost our baby. Thanks to our new tools in marriage communication and understanding, we made it through it all, holding hope and each other.
This was the last straw. If coaching didn’t work, it would have been a divorce. Before coaching, I was stressed out and burned out. Our marriage was unhealthy and dysfunctional. I often thought it would be better if we divorced. Coaching was truly an answer to prayer. I didn’t know what to expect, but it was salve on a deep wound. We now have hope. My husband is not my enemy. We are communicating better, respecting more, work as a team and are dating again. This program is rock solid.
If you had told me 2 years ago that I should consider remarrying my ex-husband, I would have thought you were crazy! I wasn’t convinced we could make it work after already trying for more than 24 years, a trip through the counseling process and then being separated for nearly 5 more! Our pastor suggested we seek out MarriageTeam. I was skeptical because of my past counseling experience. We came away from our first coaching session and were utterly floored. We couldn’t believe there were practical relationship tools available to strengthen our relationship! For the first time, we were able to express our needs and expectations to each other without shouting and shutting down. We are getting to know each other for the first time after 24 years! It was our time in MarriageTeam coaching that provided the very glue we needed to put our marriage back together! The practical element of coaching was everything!
