Connections™ FAQs

Timing is important. Choose the right time and place when things are calm. Start with the positives – such as “I love you and the life we have built together. I want us to strengthen our bond and make things better.” Briefly discuss your feelings and concerns about your relationship without complaining or blaming. Tell your partner about the Connections program and emphasize this is a proactive step to improve your relationship. Let him or her know that this can help you understand each other better and work through problems more effectively.

• Uniquely tailored private sessions designed for one couple at a time.

Over 150 Connections™ programs have been completed over the past 6 years. Our success rate is estimated at well over 90%. Couples who complete Connections™ tell us that they have a much greater understanding of themselves and each other in the context of their relationship, an improved understanding of their relationship “dance”, and they learn how to use relationship repair methods effectively.

The Connections program is ideal for couples considering separation or divorce or for those currently separated. We aim to help the two of you understand and identify your path forward. We do not take sides or have an agenda for your relationship. Rather, we facilitate a process designed to make sense of your current situation and support both of you toward repair and reconciliation, regardless of which path you take.

Many of the couples who attend Connections struggle with the consequences of affairs and infidelity. We help couples to heal together and repair emotional wounds. We focus on all aspects of the infidelity, including reasons – the “why” of the affair – understanding the context, talking through the painful feelings, and using tools such as expressions of remorse, empathy, and forgiveness.

Many couples are not on the same page regarding the future of the marriage. This is a painful situation that we address with understanding and empathy. We will help you explore why, including reactive patterns in the relationship, unmet needs, and unpacking areas of conflict and misunderstanding. If your spouse isn’t sure about staying married, we can help him or her to clarify the patterns and struggles and to identify the best path forward.

The Connections™ program is highly cost-effective. Most regular couple therapy or marriage counseling (weekly or biweekly) will be considerably more expensive over time. We also accept credit card payments for Connections™.
