The key to our Success

We both agree that our time with you was life changing and absolutely necessary. It was difficult to reach out and ask for help but it was clear that we were not headed down a good path in our marriage. A good way to sum it up, post therapy, is that we were stuck. We were fully engaged in a power struggle that caused conflict in daily interactions. You can only justify unhappiness in your own marriage by comparing to others (don’t compare yourself to others) you see as worse off for so long before you realize that things not only can get better, but that they have to before they get worse. There is no autopilot in marriage, only ups and downs. Upward is maintenance, to which the key is always communication and a conscious relationship in which each partners focus is selfless love of the other. The downs come with poor communication and lack of understanding each others needs and motivations. Simple misunderstandings that could be resolved quickly end up chipping away at the rock that your relationship is meant to be. Had it not been for you and the work you are doing we are confident that we would not be we anymore. It’s not a quick fix, it is work, but all great teams need a great coach to organize, guide and teach skills that make you better and in the marriage arena this is the difference between sinking and swimming. We are grateful for you and your passion to help others repair, grow and heal our relationships and each other. Your help guiding us through the exercises laid out in Getting The Love You Want absolutely tipped the scales in our favour. We found the book to be easy to follow as it is more conversational psychology as opposed to a textbook but it’s one thing to read a book and a whole other game when applying the information and that’s where you were the key to our success.

Truth 1: Romantic Love is a Trick 

This first chapter of Making Marriage Simple is written by Helen. One of the key insights of Imago Relationship Therapy is the understanding that we tend to be attracted, in an adult intimate relationship, to someone who has some of both the positive, but also the negative traits of our original caretakers. Imago is the […]

Making Marriage Simple

In 2013 Harville Hendrix and his wife, Helen LaKelly Hunt, wrote the little book Making Marriage Simple, 10 Relationship Saving Truths. “We’ve distilled the key concepts of our original book Getting the Love You Want: A Guide for Couples, and added the most important relationship wisdom we’ve discovered since.” (p.1) The book is aimed at […]

Strategies

Over the next few weeks, I will share some strategies that I originally wrote about in my first book Create the Relationship of Your Dreams (2015). I accidentally came across the book in England when we were there celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary. A friend had the book, which I had completely forgotten about, but […]
