OurRelationship

Participating in the Our Relationship program was a success with my marriage! It helped us to get a better understanding and learned how to communicate better.

By the grace of God, I say, I was led to the opportunity to participate in this program and thankfully my husband of 23 years agreed! We have experienced a pretty consistently painful to endure —emotionally and mentally— core issue that we couldn’t resolve on our own and ended up constantly repeating in a vicious and super annoying beyond belief manner. Our intentions are always no matter what to stay together which I think amplified the pain because we felt trapped without relief of this ongoing issue. I never gave up hope that we could resolve the issue but my pressing on in an effort to find some or any resolution added another layer of pain inflicted on the whole deal. We’ve been together since 2000 and have three amazing kids so we had a lot of motivation to work through our core issue somehow and maybe have a protocol we can use to resolve other issues we currently experience that aren’t as bad, but would be super helpful to just get closure on and move on freely with growing resentment or contempt from having to constantly endure the same pain like by definition of insanity. Our coach was SUPER amazing and I went through all the bios of the coaches available to select the right one I felt would support us based on our background and experiences as a couple. We are forever grateful to her and how well she facilitated our growth through this process on a subject that was historically getting us in such an emotional or mental state that we would sometimes question whether we were going to come out of alive almost. I now feel an immense amount of relief and even greater sense of hope that we will remain happily married with tools now to respectfully and lovingly get through any future difficult conversations with feeling like we are at each others throats and we can get back to enjoying our love for each other —which is what ultimately has kept us together for now going on 23 years and counting! To many, many MORE!
