“Coupling or Re-Coupling Your Relationship”
"Women marry men hoping they will change. Men marry women hoping they will not. So each is inevitably disappointed."
Albert Einstein, German-American Physicist, Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921. 1879 - 1955.

Couples Mediation (CM)
Relationships are often plagued by disagreements, extra marital affairs, silent tensions or overt arguments. This toxic relationship environment leads to feelings of unhappiness and dissatisfaction that festers for years and may lead to break-up or divorce.
CM is a brief, solution-focused, results-oriented approach to reclaiming your relationship and building a better future. CM is a short-term focused process that relieves emotional distress, and resolves disputes through healing, cooperative dialog. You are guided to identify the present day issues and find solutions that work best for your relationship. A future-oriented solution-focused approach engenders hope and facilitates behavior change.

Commonly mediated issues include:
Ø Her Needs vs His Needs
Ø Affection & Sex
Ø Infidelity
Ø Addictive Behaviors
Ø Money Management
Ø Parenting Practices
Ø Division of Labor/Tasks
Ø Choice of Religion
Ø Living Arrangements
Ø Career Plans/Expectations
Ø Relationships – Family, Friends
Ø Personal Health & Hygiene
CM is not marital therapy or marriage counseling which tends to rehash and re-live negative emotional experiences. There is no diagnosis, assessment or treatment of illness or disability in hopes of solving marital problems and achieving a better relationship. Through dispute resolution approaches and future behavior change, CM provides the building blocks and a firm path to a happier and more satisfying relationship and marriage. CM is the sound alternative to marriage counseling.

Pre-Partnering Mediation (PPM)
Partnering (whether in marriage or living together) is one of the most joyful experiences in life. Much time, effort and expense is often invested in wedding preparations or in cohabitation planning. If even a small portion of the effort and expense were invested in preparing the relationship for partnering, marriages or cohabitants would be happier, home life would be stable, and fewer divorces/break-ups would occur.
PPM offers a brief, non-sectarian approach to preparing your relationship for a lifetime together. Whether it is your first, second, third or fourth marriage or cohabitation, PPM addresses the major issues for partner happiness:
Ø Family Background
Ø Personal Similarities & Differences
Ø Affection & Sex
Ø Money Management
Ø Communication & Problem Solving
Ø Children & Parenting
Ø Division of Labor/Tasks
Ø Religion & Spirituality
Ø Extended Family Relationships
Ø Personal Health & Hygiene
Ø Blended Families (for previously married or cohabitants)
You gain insight into yourself and your partner. Behavioral agreements are made and documented to memorialize your promises and dedication to each other.
