“I can’t tell you how much Gary and I loved meeting with you last Saturday. Thank you so much for making time for us. With the odds stacked against our marriage, we knew we wanted to do everything we could to start things off on the right foot. Knowing in advance which areas of our relationship could be problematic is helping us to work on those things before they become a problem. The process also reminds us how important communication is to a healthy relationship.
Many thanks for your wisdom and insight.” - Re and Gary

What you can expect when you seek counseling for your marriage
Whether you are married, engaged, or considering marriage, I believe that it is important to take a look at where you have been in your life as an individual so you can give your relationship 100%. In the counseling process, I want you and your significant other to be comfortable with the counseling process so I strive to set each of you at ease without forgetting that direct suggestions are sometimes needed. On an average, couples find themselves utilizing 10-12 sessions to take a deep look into their marriage. Intimacy can be achieved by examining where you have been and how life has impacted you.
Divorce is a costly process, not only financially, but emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually. One of Bryan’s desires is to see the divorce decrease in the years to come. In order for that to happen, individuals need to be intentional about their relationship.
Prepare For Your Marriage
Most premarital couples spend a great deal of time, energy and money on a wedding ceremony that lasts a few hours. But they spend little time acquiring relationship skills needed to build a marriage that could last 50 years.
Failing to Prepare
“Failing to prepare is like preparing to fail!” It’s much easier to prepare for a successful wedding than a successful marriage. Preparing for marriage means you have to be intentional about planning for your future together.
Enriching Your Relationship
Marriage is a challenge for most couples, filled with much joy and also some difficult times. Marriages need to be nurtured in a positive environment that creates ongoing growth.
Investing in Your Marriage
The Couples Program can be used to help you build on your strengths and deal more effectively with problematic issues. The Program is designed to provide insightful skills that help you focus on and deal with important issues.
Creating and Sharing a Magnetic Marriage
Remember why you were attracted to your spouse? Was it magnetic? Today others are looking for radiant marriages that they can model. So what is the attraction power in a marriage? It is knowing who you are as an individual and being committed to a marriage vision and mission that creates radiance! Intentional marriages lead to a deeper level of intimacy and fulfillment that transcends and attracts.
