Relationship Enhancement Training

Relationship coaches Dan and Carol Ohler

Is it a good idea for you to take couples training or couples coaching to enhance your relationship with your life-partner?

That’s like asking: Is it a good idea for a heart surgeon to take training before he puts his scalpel to your chest?

In both cases, the long-term health of your heart is at stake.

We know that you’ve taken all kinds of formal and informal training in your area of expertise, and it’s been costly.   You, the taxpayers, or the company you work for have invested thousands and thousands of dollars to train you in all kinds of things from basic reading and writing, to oil exploration, to senior executive management, or wherever your expertise lies.

But what about your relationship with your life-partner?  Have you taken any training in how to effectively live with, and communicate with a life-partner?  If you’re like most people, probably not.   Strange, isn’t it?

And the results in our society?  Consider these facts (Statistics Canada):

In Canada:

  • 39% of all marriages fail.
  • 72% of 2nd marriages fail.
  • 85% of 3rd marriages fail.

And what about non-marriage relationships that we can’t track?  Are the failure rates better, or worse?

Another interesting tidbit about relationship breakdowns:

In many of these failed relationships, one person in the relationship was totally unaware that anything was wrong – they didn’t see it coming.  Hmmm?

From those stats, it seems that many people have challenges in their numero-uno relationship.  If you’re like most people (us included), things happen that cause stress in your relationship.  Let’s call is “Guck”.  Guck is normal. It’s how you handle the Guck that determine your level of happiness and success in your relationship.

What do couples do with the Guck?

  • Some couples keep doing what they’ve been doing and end the relationship, and the next, and the next, and the next.
  • Some struggle along, day after day, and just exist together, fighting, complaining, and blaming.
  • And some learn communication tools and develop strategies to work together to effectively deal with daily Guck so their relationship thrives and excels every day – they experience an abundance of happiness.

What have you been doing?  Or better yet, what are you going to do NOW?

The Relationship Solutions

Regardless of where you are in your relationship, there are solutions for you.

We believe that in a relationship, there is always room for improvement.  And our Couples Programs will give you both exactly what you need to quickly and effectively solve stressors and take your relationship to a higher level of intimacy, connection, commitment, and fun.

Or if one of you is hesitant or resistant to accepting help and guidance, we’ll work with one of you who is.  The fact is, even if one of you make some slight changes to your thoughts, words, and actions, the relationship will improve, or at least you’ll feel better about your part in it.

Sound good?

The first step is your awareness.  Since you’re here, I commend you for that.  Here’s a free downloadable Relationship Self Check you can do to give you an idea where you are at.

Depending on your insights, here is brief description of some of the programs we offer. Click the titles for more information, or call us at 780-785-9479 or 1-866-937-3700.  These programs are about effective communication principles – there are no religious connotations of any kind.

And then the question to ask yourself is this:  Why not?

Hundreds of other couples have created HUGE value for themselves through these programs.  You can do the same.  Go ahead and read testimonials from others.
