Sara, 32, is a successful business woman. She’s a take charge kind of person who has spent the last ten years building a career she can be proud of. She’s financially secure and feels complete within herself. Lately, she’s been thinking that finding a partner would be the perfect icing on the cake. And she is growing more aware that she’d like to have a child or two before long. But, she’s been having trouble meeting the right partner and she has been in several dead-end relationships that did not really meet her needs.

Tim, 37, was married for 8 years and has been divorced now for two years. He’s ready to build a new partnership, but he’s been having difficulty connecting with the right kind of partner. He’s becoming frustrated and disappointed with the dating scene and is starting to wonder if he’ll be single forever.

Coaching can help singles like Sara and Tim maximize their efforts at finding the right partner and creating a healthy, satisfying relationship that lasts.

Alex and Laura, both in their mid-30s, have been dating for three years and they are engaged to be married next summer. They both have busy careers and looked a long time to find the right partner. They each feel lucky to have found someone they feel so in love with. However, both Alex and Laura’s parents were divorced so they know that marriage isn’t all wine and roses. Although they love each other very much, they sometimes notice negativity creeping into their interaction. Because each feels committed to avoiding the painful mistakes they watched their parents make, they are eager to nip this pattern early to ensure their love will last a lifetime.

Viviane, 37, and Tom, 40, have been married six years. They were a two career couple until their first child was born eight months ago. Since then, Viviane has been home caring for their baby. Although Tom and Viviane were very happy with their relationship before the baby arrived, since then, there has been some tension between them. They’ve experienced some bumps along the way as they try to negotiate all the changes and challenges that a new baby brings. They both want to find a way to adapt to the changes, while preserving their love for each other.

Through the coaching process, couples like these can strengthen communication and problem solving skills while, at the same time, find ways to enhance the positive emotions and intimacy in their relationship.
