Give yourselves three months.  See what a difference it can make.

Picture
Intimate relationships (marriages in particular) are rewarding and complicated experiences.  They are not chaotic and unpredictable…even though at times they might feel that way.  They are usually pattern driven.  By that we mean that over time, couples develop subtle rules for how their relationship will go. When it goes well, it has a wonderful momentum of its own.  When it doesn’t go well, it has a distressing momentum of its own. 
 
Changing a couple’s pattern of relating requires focused and consistent efforts aimed at altering:


  • Thoughts:  A mindset that maintains an undesirable “story” about the         relationship.
 
  • Actions:  Behaviors that support and maintain undesirable patterns of relating.
 
  • Emotions:  Attachment to emotions that fuel undesirable ways of relating.
 
 
Although there are various ways of working with couples, we have determined that it is most effective to begin with an intensive session (A Day Just For The Two Of You) followed by three months of additional support and guidance.  This is the basic format.  Because there is no such thing as one-size-fits-all, the work we do with you will be tailored to your unique needs.
 
It’s very important to recognize that taking this step is an investment in your marriage.  This isn’t about maintenance.  It isn’t about painting a room or changing out the old carpet in your family room.  It’s about putting the time and resources into remodeling your kitchen…upgrading and adding to the value of your home.  It’s an investment that will pay dividends for the rest of your life together.

A Day Just For The Two Of You

Imagine jumpstarting your relationship with the support, encouragement and guidance of two seasoned professionals.  We will spend a day with you delving into the places your relationship is blocked.  We will help you soften the “hard places” and smooth the sharp and jagged spots that prevent conversation and effective problem solving. 
 
Here are the options for your day:

One

Your day can take place at a luxury resort with all the “bells and whistles.”  This means you can combine the work you do with a weekend get-away.  With this option you will have time for relaxation, fun and a little personal pampering.  It’s the best of both worlds.​

Two


Your day can take place at a local venue that offers the feel of getting away from it all.  You can make it a one-day event or a weekend if you like

Three 


​Your day can take place in our office with the chance to address things in a comfortable and professional setting that minimizes the time you take away from work and family.
 
​
The basic fee for A Day Just For The Two Of You is:  $2195.00.   You will receive a $500 credit toward the three month follow-up should you decide to take advantage of the additional support.

If you choose to have your day at a resort or a local get-away, additional charges will apply.

Beyond A Day Just For The Two Of You

We recommend three months of support and guidance after your one-day intensive.  A lot can happen during the day you devote to your relationship.  That’s for sure!  And, the progress you make during that day deserves to be nurtured and encouraged so that it can take root.
 
The basic follow-up is:
Four person-to-person sessions over three months spaced every other week.
One 4-hour intensive at the end of the three months.
Twenty emailed exercises designed to support and enhance the you're progress.
Unlimited email contact for support and guidance.
​The charge for three months of basic follow-up is:  $4475.00
 
If you choose to include more person-to-person sessions and/or would like to add phone consultations, additional charges will apply.
 
Total charge for the basic program is:  $6170.00 when paid in full prior to beginning the work.  You can also make three beginning-of-the-month payments of $2159.00 each.  Or, you can make one payment of $2159 followed by 11 weekly installments of $420.00 each.
