Relationship coaching that helps you overcome loneliness, ease constant tension, and avoid divorce

Feeling unimportant or misunderstood?

Being alone in a marriage is devastating.

  • Unheard, frustrated, not respected or supported
  • Explosive & hostile and/or avoiding & hiding
  • Feeling wronged and lonely
  • “This isn’t how I thought it would be.”

Loneliness and frustration are incredibly painful. They are also signs of better days ahead.

When you are in the distressing stage of marriage, know these three things:  It’s a normal part of the marriage cycle. It feels absolutely horrible. AND it’s an extremely beneficial phase, once you know how to navigate through it.

Loneliness and frustration are painful. They are also a sign of better days ahead.

It’s true. When a marriage hits this stage, it shows that people want to change. It’s the way marriage works. Loneliness and frustration are growing pains. But if you don’t know what to do with them, they deepen the wedge between you. Before you know it, that change is leading toward a separation or divorce.

Instead of divorce or a miserable marriage, you can know what to do to move through this distressing stage of marriage.

Less Resentment & Pain

Less Attacking & Avoiding

More Companionship & Intimacy

Resentment is a helpful neon sign, it’s highlighting a problem to solve, but it’s absolute poison when it takes root. You can know what to do to benefit from the resentment, while preventing it from killing your relationship.

Conflict can either wound you and create distance between the two of you, or it can help with growth and deepen your connection. Once you know what to do during and with a conflict, you can discover its hidden value.

Marriages often start out well, but there is a particular stage in marriage where the relationship patterns, which were okay before, begin to cause a lot of trouble & turmoil. You can know what to do to upgrade those patterns, so they benefit you again.

Focus on Yourself...

At least some of the time. First, the work begins with identifying what you think, feel, and desire. Then you learn to communicate those truths effectively, both to yourself and to others. It’s simple, but not easy.

Conflict is a Friend

Conflict done well rewards you with connection and stability, and doesn’t take a long time. Enjoyable marriages develop through understanding our differences despite the conflict involved.

Distance is Important

Sometimes we lose ourselves by getting too close to the other person, abandoning our own needs and identity. Other times, we create so much distance that we hide behind emotional walls that can take many forms.

Not Alone Anymore

It’s normal to be an intelligent, sensible, and successful person in the world AND have marriage problems. There are two issues that challenge most marriages. #1 The distressing stage of marriage, #2 Relationship patterns pulling you into their trap.

When I was younger, I didn’t know this. I thought there was something wrong with…well, to be honest, my husband. But then I couldn’t figure out my part either. Was it us? Were the two of us a bad fit? It wasn’t until much later that I figured out that there wasn’t anything wrong with us being together. We had just been snagged by that particular stage of marriage and were trapped in our patterns. These were solvable issues. Hope was on the horizon.

Now when I help other individual and couples navigating their stuck places, I hold the hope for each one of them. I watch the tension decrease as they begin to feel understood by the other. This is the start of stepping forward into a more stable, supportive, and enjoyable marriage.

The path forward to a more supportive and enjoyable marriage.
