Relationship Tune-up
You found the right person and made a commitment. It's important to protect your "Happily Ever After."
- You wish you felt closer to your partner. Since the relationship is good in so many ways, it's hard to put into words what else you need.
- A transition is just down the road. You want to sail through it as a team. Sometimes stress can knock you out-of-sync.
- Although you work hard to achieve harmony with your partner, sometimes you misunderstand one another. Not enough to cause big arguments, but enough to make you feel a little distant.
- You want to "grow together" through the years. Personal and relationship growth are a big priority for you. You want to catch communication and problem-solving issues before they can erode the love you feel for one another.
- Although you trust one another, it's hard to communicate about the deep topics. It makes you feel more distant and lonely than you really want.
- You and your partner came from vastly different backgrounds. Sometimes it's hard to relate because of the differences.
- This is your second try at love. It surprised you when your previous relationship fell apart. You want more from this one.
- Blended families are complicated. You want to limit outside influences that cause unnecessary stress in your relationship.
- Your partner is dealing with a personal issue that sometimes spills into the relationship. You struggle to know when and how to help, and when to give them space or make allowances for their moodiness.
- The intimacy in your relationship has dropped off without a clear reason. You worry that it's a sign of a bigger problem.
- You want your kids to have the best possible relationship template for their own future lives.

A Couples Relationship Tune-up is exactly what you need to protect your future.
What happens in a Tune-up?
1. We will complete a Couples Relationship Checkup. You will learn about the strengths of your relationship and the patterns that need to be improved or adjusted.
2. Based on the Relationship Checkup, we set clear goals that you will complete on your own or with the support of your therapist. These may include:
- Learning and practicing new Relationship skills.
- Resolving problems around daily living, equitably sharing the workload, avoiding miscommunications, and/or sexual differences.
- Developing Healthy Relationship Habits that will continue building your relationship a little everyday to create an unbreakable bond.
- Identifying potential future crises that could derail the relationship including extended family issues, personality differences, boredom, and life situation changes.
3. You’ll develop a working relationship with your therapist who will understand who you are and what you need even if you don’t see them very often. They are available for drop-in sessions as the need arises.
4. Together, you’ll choose the ideal frequency to implement your support plan. Based on your individual circumstances, you’ll decide how often to meet with your therapist to support your goals. Many couples complete the Couples Relationship Checkup, meet weekly for a few sessions, then cut back to once a month for ongoing support and accountability.

Frequently Asked Questions
My partner doesn't think that we need a Couples Relationship Tune-up. How do I help them understand that this will be good for us, even if we aren't on the brink of divorce?
Couples often don’t agree on how to keep their love strong. There are so many options. A Couples Relationship Tune-up is a preventative tool that sets you up for success. One strategy is to ask them to be curious and skeptical but participate in a free Phone Consultation to learn more. Sometimes, they need to know more specifics before committing to a process.
