Thank you for giving me the opportunity to connect with you and share all that I've learned about having a great relationship.
I love helping couples create the marriage they really want to have.
I would imagine, though, that you would like to get to know more about who I am.
I promised you in my last video that I would share with you the secret that changed my marriage so dramatically.
That's why I've devoted this article to taking you behind the scenes and sharing a little bit about my own story, so you'll know why I'm so passionate about what I do.
Being a marriage counselor and being married can be tricky business.
Since I have access to really effective relationship tools, some people think I'm immune to marital conflict and should know better.
But the stresses and strains of life affect all of us and can damage any relationship.
Many years ago my husband and I went through a pretty rough patch in our marriage. During this time our kids were younger, and we were each focusing on our careers while trying to raise a family.
There was so much going on - the kid's sports schedules, school projects, business meetings and on and on.
Like many couples we were in a whirlwind of "to-do's" and it began to overwhelm our relationship. We weren't making our marriage a priority and the signs of neglect became too hard to ignore.
We were beginning to feel more like roommates than the loving partners we once were.
Can you relate?
Then we discovered an Imago Relationship Workshop where we learned the skills we needed to completely transform our relationship. Our communication has improved because we learned how to listen to each other with so much more love and respect.After this amazing experience, I just had to learn all I could about Imago and I went on to become an Imago Relationship Therapist.
I can now share all those same wonderful skills with the couples I work with each day.
My husband and I continue to have a solid and supportive connection, and I'm happy to say that we'll be celebrating our 30th anniversary very soon!
Sure we still disagree at times, but we spend less time arguing and more time really enjoying each other and having fun together.
I'm so grateful for what we created, and it's kind of scary to think how easily things could have gone the other way.
It's devastating to see a marriage crumble.
Like you, I have painfully watched close friends and family struggle in their marriages, and I've seen the devastation this has had on their children, their health, and their well-being.
Some have gone through very painful divorces because they didn't have the skills to communicate effectively with the love of their life.
And it's tragic because it doesn't have to be this way.
I've been teaching busy professionals how simple it can be to feel more passion in their marriage when they learn the skills they need to build a supportive relationship together.
In fact, I've dedicated my years of education, training, experience, and my entire heart and soul - to develop my own unique system that has helped couples improve their relationship in a powerful way.
Here's the best part...
Having a healthy, passionate marriage isn't as complicated as you think when you learn how to build a supportive relationship one loving step at a time.
I would love to help you too.
