Marriage Coaching

Most people who seek coaching for their marriages have experienced some degree of pain or a loss of pleasure.

Marriage Coaching is distinctively different from marriage counseling in that coaching is dependent on the expertise of the married couple’s awareness of their own goals and desires as opposed to the expertise or specialized knowledge of a counselor. While marriage coaches may help a couple clarify goals and the action steps that go along with these goals, coaches never set the goals for the married couple. The couple is responsible for setting them for themselves. 

Therefore the ultimate goal of Marriage Coaching is to help to find and facilitate the mutually agreed upon goals and action steps that the couple is motivated to accomplish. Marriage Coaching can be different than counseling because it appeals to men, who generally prefer the word "coaching" as opposed to the word "counseling." Coaching focuses on encouraging clients, holding them responsible, and helping them to grow.

As Christians, we have all been given the ministry of reconciliation by God (2 cor 5:18). As we implore the world to be reconciled to God through Christ, we also have the responsibility of helping individuals to be reconciled to one another. I have experienced a lot of success with couples that have come to me with broken marriages. I have witnessed the power of God revitalize marriages that appeared to be dead or doomed.

As much as I like coaching married couples, I am always grateful to have the opportunity to work with those that are engaged. Pre-Martial counseling and coaching are important and should never be overlooked. Marriage was one of the first institutions given to us by God and we should never view it lightly.

For all others, marriage coaching can help restore, refocus, and rekindle the flame in your marriage.
