At Relationship Gardening-I offer to LGBTQI and straight couples the best information available (using the world's top marital research findings) in a very tailor made and friendly way. We can use video recording of you two working on a conflict and personalizing the input with immediate encouraging playback and feedback. Couples sessions are a double session length (90 min) so there is time to get somewhere on the shifts from crabby or neglectful habits to new love habits each week.

You can learn to be the expert in your own relationship with communication building that will get you through your everyday relationship, your differences, as well as the nitty gritty of your conflict discussions.

You can also learn about which of your relationship habits can be described as one of the 4 poisons, their antidotes, and ways to provide yourselves nourishing conditions for a thriving relationship.

If you are engaged or newlywed, the habits of long term happy couples are learnable and can with high probability save you the misery of the breakdown of your relationship-which frees you to support your partner's dream and pursue the gift you were given to express in your own life.

And if you are facing excruciating broken trust problems including betrayal, you can be guided through the 3 phases critical to recovery which are hard to do on your own-but doable with an informed coach to make your relationship stronger after affairs.

Educational support groups and presentations for healthy relationships are also offered as an affordable alternative to private sessions.
