Our coaching approach is not focused primarily on helping you understand your problems better but instead, it is focused on helping the two of you to create permanent and fulfilling habits and solutions to your marital problems. Our guaranteed success comes from the following five key components:
- Solutions - Without fail, the happiest marriages come from couples who effectively work on solutions instead of those who focus solely on their problems. To this end, Marriage Matters takes the approach of helping you and your spouse identify solutions that show both partners that the marriage is “working” again.
- Skills - Once we help you build some solutions that work for your marriage, we coach you on a variety of proven skills and tools to managing your relationship issues.
- Habits - Almost without exception, couples say that they can improve their marriage for short periods of time only to fall into the same old patterns again. Marriage Matters has found that the key to a productive and lasting marriage is to turn skills and rules into habits. The coaching process is designed to instill habits into your marriage based on your newly acquired solutions and knowledge.
- Objectivity - Because we do not share your history, our relationship coaches offer a set of objective eyes which affords an ability to pull the boundaries of you and your partner’s view points to help you see things in a more positive, healthy way. By doing so, we are able to help you get to the heart of real issues and make positive changes in how you relate to each other.
- Accountability - One of the greatest benefits of a coaching relationship is the fact that a coach can hold you and your spouse accountable for the commitments you make to each other. No more excuses or ups and downs. The built-in accountability that comes with the coaching program helps you develop solid habits and see dramatic changes in your relationship.
