Relationships aren’t supposed to be easy.

Why not? Well, imagine this scenario…

You storm out of the room. You’re frustrated, angry, and highly (and I mean “highly”) upset. You and your partner have been arguing a lot more lately…about everything under the sun such as your job, not spending enough time together, parenting and household responsibilities, and even dirty dishes and strewn laundry!

You tried to discuss your concerns with your partner but to no avail. The result? A screaming match – a true battle amongst former comrades…cough…cough…partners for the label of “victor.” You used to be so close… Everything used to be so…easy. Not now.

If this sounds like your relationship, a relationship coach can help you!

What is a Relationship Coach?

A relationship coach is someone who supports individuals and couples in learning vital skills for relating, especially in marriages and romantic partnerships. Relationship coaches teach you to develop conflict resolution skills and offer tools to deepen intimacy and pleasure.

Relationship coaches can serve as a huge asset and investment for your relationship. It doesn’t matter if you are dating, committed, engaged, or married – no one is immune to relationship issues. So, although relationships can be beautiful, they can also be extremely challenging, which is where a relationship coach can help.

Consider hiring a Relationship Coach

Are you ready to seek help with a “relationship expert” (i.e. couples counselor, marriage and family therapist, relationship psychologist, etc.)? Check out one of our Guide Coaches. Sometimes couples need a little extra help to get back-on-track. This is especially true for younger couples who *typically* have fewer life experiences at this stage of their lives.
 
There is nothing wrong with asking for help from a professional. It doesn’t signify that you are “weak,” incapable of solving your own problems or dealing with your own issues. Rather, seeking help is a sign of strength because it takes courage to share your concerns, experiences, emotion, and heartache with someone else. It also takes gusto to consider helping your relationship survive.

If you are experiencing any of the following from the list below, then you might consider hiring a relationship coach:

• You and your partner want help defining relationship goals
• Your communication with your partner needs improvement
• You’ve had rough patches with your partner and you need assistance
• You are unhappy in your current relationship and feel stuck
• You are struggling to hold yourself accountable in your relationship
• You want feedback on how to improve your relationship
• You want an expert’s opinion so you can avoid common relationship mistakes

When in doubt, guidance is extremely valuable. Keep in mind that not all relationship coaches are going to be the best fit, so it is crucial to do your research before proceeding with your first coaching meeting.
