The challenge. Married eleven years, Lena and Marc arrived talking past each other. Every disagreement about money or parenting became a referendum on the whole relationship.
The approach. Twelve weeks of couples coaching focused on one skill at a time: reflective listening, weekly check-ins, and repair attempts after arguments. We replaced mind-reading with plain, kind requests.
The outcome. The couple now holds a calm thirty-minute Sunday check-in and reports resolving most disagreements the same day. They renewed their vows that spring — quietly, in their own kitchen.
