Equipping Christian Couples

Chances are that you found this website for one of two reasons: You fight all the time or you never talk.

Or maybe…

• You feel criticized.

• You feel controlled.

• You feel neglected.

• You feel abandoned.

• You feel smothered.

• You fear abandonment.

• You can’t trust your spouse.

• Your spouse tells you you’re clingy.

• Your spouse needs constant reassurance.

• Your spouse won’t talk.

• Your spouse is clingy.

• Your spouse won't spend time with you.

• Your spouse is unpredictable.

• You have a hard time trusting your spouse or vice versa.

Many people, especially guys, are afraid of marriage coaching. There’s the fear that all we’re going to do is sit around and talk about our feelings. There’s a fear that the therapist will take their spouse’s side. There’s a fear that marriage coaching could make things worse.

However, most of the fears people bring to couples coaching are unfounded. While being aware of and discussing feelings is important, our focus will be on improving communication and developing strategies to overcome challenges. I work diligently to maintain a “level playing field” with couples. Might your marriage end in divorce? Sadly, yes, that could happen. But if couples engage in the process with one another, the likelihood of that happening is greatly diminished.

These and a myriad of other reasons may have led you to this page. And it’s not coincidence. You’ve landed here because you are seeking help. But not just any help. You want someone who not only shares your faith, but also knows how to implement biblical principles for marriage and the best psychological practices. My formula is that Jesus plus Psychology equals Practical Wisdom.

My hope and prayer in working with you is to help you learn to relate to one another more effectively, to overcome specific challenges, and develop skills and strategies that will increase trust and commitment over your lifetime together.

Ultimately, the goal of marriage coaching is to honor God above all else. Husbands and wives who are pursuing Christ and honoring one another can overcome almost any marital challenge. Let’s work together to develop a deeply satisfying and God-honoring marriage.

So, if you and your spouse are having trouble communicating, if you are having the same arguments over and over again, or a different argument with the same predictable pattern, I can teach you how to break that cycle. If trust has been broken, you can learn to trust again. If past traumas are having a negative impact on your marriage, you can learn how to respond differently to your triggers. If you're bored, you can learn how to renew the spark that brought you together in the first place. Or, if you want to make sure that you are starting your marriage off on the right foot, you can learn the skills you need to create a thriving marriage from day one.
