The Haunting Question
As a relationship therapist, you hear a lot of questions, and you see a lot of people looking for answers. One question always gets asked the most, though. “What happened to us?”. It’s a short question but a complex one.
Most of the clients that come into our therapy office are in a crisis. This is the last bastion of hope before they resort to splitting up. In fact, for many people, therapy is seen as a last resort, and many couples elect to skip therapy altogether.
The unfortunate statistic is that half of all marriages end in divorce. This is one of the statistics as relationship counselors, we are trying to bring down.
Some of the couples we see also do some form of pre-marital counseling. While this can help increase marriage satisfaction by 30%. Not every couple that receives pre-marital counseling is immune from stepping into our office.
While pre-marital counseling is a huge benefit to your marriage it is typically finished after a few sessions. Many times couples don’t retain the sessions the way they would if they were in a crisis state. After all, no one has ever walked down the aisle and thought “I’ll probably be divorced at some point”.
No, instead they are thinking “this is the happiest day of my life and I will be with this person forever”. Which is the mindset we want everyone to have when walking down the aisle. Wouldn’t it be great to retain that happiness throughout your entire relationship?
We wanted to craft a way for couples to increase their relationship satisfaction, both in their marriage and their long-term relationship. The method we crafted acts as a relationship blueprint. We take in-depth looks at the foundations that create a stronger relationship.
Crafting your Blueprint
We take a look at the methods for crafting a stronger and longer-lasting bond with your partner. We discuss the
science of attachment and how to create a more secure attachment with your partner;

Benefits
Around 31% of couples that attend some form of premarital education are less likely to get divorced and have a higher marriage satisfaction rating. You and your partner will be setting yourselves up for success and increasing your marriage satisfaction rating. You’ll build a more secure attachment to each other and learn how to navigate the tricky conversations in your forever relationship.
One small problem with premarital counseling
The biggest issue with premarital counseling is that you can’t typically revisit it. This course gives you lifetime access to a form of premarital education that many couples wish they would have had before they step into our therapy office. It’s all online, and you'll have access to all future versions of the course as well.
Steps to take
We wanted to make it as seamless as possible to take the course. It takes around 7 weeks to complete. The course itself consists of 7 modules as well as a pre-assessment for us to provide you with the best possible experience. Each week you’ll unlock a new module. As well as gain some homework in the process. Everything involved is to help you build a stronger relationship with your partner.
