Discover the transformative power of Christian relationship coaching.

Should we consider relationship coaching?

Every couple can benefit from relationship coaching. As Christian relationship coaches, we are aware that coaching can positively impact your relationship. Everyone we've coached says they wish they'd started earlier. 

What’s the value of relationship and premarital coaching?

Premarital coaching can reduce your divorce risk by 30%. A separate study found that couples who took part in marriage enrichment reported better outcomes than 80% of those who didn’t. It is incredible to think that the average wedding costs $30,000-$35,000, while premarital coaching costs under $1,000. Your relationship goal is 70-90% more likely to be achieved with coaching.

When should we seek premarital coaching? 

Begin premarital coaching after you decide this relationship is serious. It’s unnecessary to delay until a proposal happens. Coaching might reveal you’re not a good match or that the relationship needs more time. The value of having coaching before you announce your engagement is that you don’t have to backtrack on your announcement if you find you have more work to do on your relationship, or if you decide to end it. 

Married individuals may find relationship coaching beneficial for enhancing intimacy. Couples often lack the skills to handle relationship challenges. Every couple has told us they wish they had learned these skills sooner to avoid their emotional pain. Similar to a landscape, a marriage’s duration hinges on care. Keep investing in your relationship. 

What’s the best way to select a coach?

Coaches should provide an initial free session to assess team compatibility. Do you have a mutually agreed-upon meeting time? Is their billing clear? What is the procedure for missed appointments? During the first session, expect questions about your basic background information. Coaches should listen to you to learn your goals or assist you in clarifying them. Some coaches might facilitate relationship assessments. Relationship assessments serve as instruments for pinpointing avenues for development and recognizing the strengths within a relationship. 

How do counseling and coaching differ?

Counseling might focus on healing the past and on obtaining a diagnosis. It also employs a therapy healing model to address your needs. Coaching is future-oriented. Just as professional athletes hire personal coaches to enhance their performance and meet their goals, relationship coaching serves a similar purpose. Also, coaching does not focus on who is right, but on how to help you have the tools to reach your own decisions or insights. 

What does a Christian relationship coach offer?

Relationship coaches who are Christian incorporate skills with a God-centered view. A Christian coach might help you affirm the spiritual strengths you find through your personal and joint relationship with Jesus. To be truly helpful, a Christian coach needs to go beyond just the title. The main question is: are they helping you become more like Christ? 

What topics do coaches cover in premarital coaching?

The areas often discussed in premarital coaching are: finances, communication, expectations, impact of family, personality, conflict resolution, leisure, sex, and spiritual beliefs. Coaching offers a highly personalized approach and adapts to include other subjects as needed. 

How long does coaching last?

Short answer: as long as it takes. Expect premarital coaching to span 4 to 8 weeks, featuring weekly 45-minute sessions. Marriage coaching usually goes longer than 8 weeks. Each couple that works with us has a uniquely crafted plan to meet their goals. 

What is the cost?

Costs can vary widely for good coaching. Premarital coaching typically costs between $700 and $ 1,000. Many coaches offer packages rather than per-session billing. The advantage of packages is that you know upfront what your commitment is and that you have secured a time slot, which helps with consistency. Relationship coaching is hands down one of the most important investments you can make in your life. The improved collaboration between you and your partner on financial matters often results in savings that far exceed the initial investment in coaching. 

Who is coaching not for?

Consider therapy as a preferable option if you're dealing with physical abuse, infidelity, or substance abuse until these matters are under control. If you are experiencing physical abuse, seek professional help right away.
