Strengthen Your Relationship with Marriage Coaching
Terry & Jen Porter
Marriage is one of life’s greatest commitments, but it’s not always easy. Relationships can face challenges like miscommunication, unmet expectations, or drifting apart over time. Marriage coaching offers a proactive approach to strengthen your relationship, address pain points, and create a thriving partnership.
Unlike counseling, which often focuses on resolving past issues or trauma, marriage coaching is forward-looking, equipping couples with tools and strategies to build a stronger, healthier future together.
What Does Marriage Coaching Address?
As your marriage coach, I will guide you through themes and topics designed to create connection, resolve challenges, and deepen your understanding of each other. Some key areas include:
- Communication
- Learn to express your thoughts and feelings clearly while actively listening to your partner.
- Gain strategies for resolving conflict with respect and empathy.
- Understanding Your Relationship Dynamics
- Identify and appreciate each other’s unique needs, personalities, and love languages.
- Explore how your backgrounds, values, and habits shape your relationship.
- Building Emotional Intimacy
- Reignite emotional closeness through intentional time, vulnerability, and trust-building exercises.
- Establishing Boundaries
- Define healthy limits that protect your relationship and foster mutual respect.
What Sets My Marriage Coaching Apart?
I integrate proven tools and resources to provide a comprehensive approach to marriage coaching:
SYMBIS and SYMBIS+
Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts (SYMBIS) is ideal for couples preparing for marriage or newlyweds. SYMBIS+ focuses on strengthening relationships for married couples. Both assessments offer personalized insights into your relationship, helping us create a roadmap for success.
Boundaries and Boundaries in Marriage
Drawing from the work of Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend, I’ll guide you in setting boundaries that protect your emotional well-being and relationship health. Boundaries help couples navigate differences and build trust.
John Gottman Resources
The Gottman Method, based on decades of research, offers powerful strategies for nurturing relationships. Tools like the “Four Horsemen” framework help couples recognize and replace destructive communication patterns with healthy, productive ones.
Marriage Coaching vs. Counseling
While both marriage coaching and counseling aim to improve relationships, they take different approaches:
- Counseling addresses deep-seated issues, trauma, or mental health challenges.
- Coaching focuses on growth, skill-building, and creating a shared vision for the future.
Marriage coaching is ideal for couples who want to invest in their relationship, whether they’re newlyweds, long-time partners, or facing specific challenges they’re ready to address proactively.
Why Choose Marriage Coaching?
Marriage coaching isn’t just about solving problems—it’s about creating the relationship you’ve always dreamed of. It’s a safe space to strengthen your bond, enhance communication, and build a foundation that lasts.
