Set Your Marriage Up For Success

This course is for couples who want to co-create a LOVING, LASTING relationship.

It's only been around for about 260 years, but since marriage-for-love (aka romanticism) took over from marriage-for-reason, taking a PRACTICAL look at your relationship has been actively discouraged as "killing the ROMANCE." 

How is that going? 

There's a 50% divorce rate in the West for first marriages, 60% for second, and 73% for third. 

An in-depth premarital discussion with a trained and objective expert helps you to PREPARE FOR THE DAILY REALITIES of sharing your lives. 

Ironically, that’s what helps keep the romance alive.

Personality Type saved my marriage

...because now I know my husband isn’t ticking me off on purpose, it’s just the way his brain is wired.

We got married in 2007, and hit a significant rough patch in 2010. We got through it with the help of a counselor, and it wasn’t until after that experience that it occurred to me to PUT OUR TYPE DETAILS SIDE BY SIDE. 

And there it was, black on white, clear as day - what took us years of trial and error to figure out, our Types explain those differences in minutes. 

For the last 10 years, we’ve been using Type insights in our marriage, and haven’t hit another wall again since. Sure, there are still disagreements, but we have the TOOLS to get on the same page a lot faster. 

That’s what I want to share with you now. I created this program, because I wish it existed when I got married. 


Is this you?

You're recently engaged...

  • You’ve been together for a while, you’ve probably lived together, so you know each other pretty well.
  • You’re happy, and you want to make sure the magic doesn’t wear off.
  • You’re not religious, or not practicing anyway, and there aren’t any major issues you need to overcome before the big day.
  • You’re looking for something… preventative, maybe. 
  • The pre-wedding stress has been getting to you, and you’ve been quietly wondering how compatible you two really are. No big deal, every couple experiences that, right? But...
  • you want to talk about your relationship one more time, you know, just to make sure you’re on the same page. 

You want one (or maybe a handful) sessions to 

  1. talk about your relationship goals with someone, 
  2. feel more connected with your partner, and 
  3. learn some communication and conflict skills in the process. 

If any (or all) of these resonate, hello, nice to meet you - you’re in the right place!

How the Premarital Prep Program Can Help You

IMPROVE COMMUNICATION

Feel like you’re not speaking the same language sometimes? YOUR LOVE PROFILES will lay out precisely how you and your partner like to get your point across, and our WORKBOOK gives you exercises to practice adapting your innate style to get on the same page.  

BUILD TRUST

When personalities clash, it can feel like your partner is trying to annoy or undermine you on purpose. Especially if the same kind of argument happens over and over, resentment can build, and take on a life of its own. Spending time to really understand your core selves, innate needs, and talents in YOUR LOVE PROFILES helps foster understanding for your partner’s point of view in a non-judgmental way. From that basis of empathy, you are better able to strengthen your relationship FOUNDATION. 

CREATE CONNECTION

People like to show and receive love in different ways. Whether you feel connected to your partner depends on how many times your attempts to connect are being answered, and vice versa. Using insights from YOUR LOVE PROFILES, and especially the Conflict and Sex & Intimacy chapters of the WORKBOOK, couples learn how to recognize and respond to their partner’s direct and indirect ways of reaching out.

Premarital Stats

based on healthresearchfunding.com

A happy marriage is one of the most important life objectives for 93% of Americans. Couples who underwent counseling before their wedding had a 30% higher marital success rate than those who did not. 44% of couples who get married today agree to premarital counseling before they decide to take their wedding vows. The median amount of time that a couple spent in premarital counseling before getting married is only 8 hours.
