My husband & I were feeling disconnected as we kept butting heads & shutting down in difficult conversations. We felt lonely because we didn't know how to have meaningful conversations.
HE OFTEN FELT LIKE:
• I was trying to fix him
• Could never make me happy
• Manipulated & controlled
• His sexual needs went unmet
I OFTEN FELT LIKE:
• I was carrying all the weight
• I got the leftovers
• Under appreciated & unloved
• My emotional needs went unmet
Sometimes we felt little more than roommates... but honestly, roommates do more together and have more fun with each other than we did!
We could go through periods of closeness and intimacy in our marriage but weren't sure when those were going to end due to some conflict happening. We didn't feel like we could trust each other to resolve tough situations.
I know it's possible for you because we've been there (and back).
When Jeff & I had differing opinions, we would fight to get our own way or to be right. We blamed each other for what wasn't working in the relationship because it was easier to see the problems in the other person. But no matter how hard we tried, we couldn't seem to get the other person to change.
One day, I was losing it on Jeff and saw my expression in the mirror. I was mortified at how hateful & ugly I was being towards the man I love.
I realized the more I criticized and blamed my husband, the more bitter and angry I was becoming. And that is not who I wanted to be.
What I realized is I needed to focus on myself and discovering the spouse I wanted to become.

"Marriage Thrive has helped us work through fights we’ve literally had for a DECADE in a matter of minutes."

It all starts with renovating your communication through the course called Marriage Thrive.
These exercises will help you apply what you are learning & create lasting change.
Get prompts to guide you through weekly times of play and chat with your spouse and fall deeper in love.
We start by looking at what disconnecting ways you are shutting down, getting angry, defensive, being needy, disrespectful, unloving or critical of your spouse? Nothing is bad, broken or wrong with you, you just lack an understanding of your inner workings. Once the blinders are removed, you will have new levels of self control so you can "work in your own backyard," choose new responses and connect with your spouse in brand new ways.
This phase helps you filter through the layers of the difficult topics that have been keeping you stuck and gives you new communication tools so that you can know exactly what conversations you need to have, how to have them and how to recover when you start to spin out.
Learning new things is of no use if you don’t put it into practice. These exercises will help you take what you are learning and actually apply it to your life and relationship. Through investigative questions and exercises, you will gain new insight and start putting into practice new approaches to communication so you can produce lasting change.
It is easy to learn something new, but then get frustrated and give up when you don’t get the results that you want. Lasting change comes through practicing the new skills and seeing the small nuances so you can make the necessary adjustments to transform your communication & start thriving.
All of that and more *is* possible for you (seriously!), and you'll learn how to get there with the Marriage Thrive
Communication flows when we feel truly connected, but in most marriages, time to connect is in short supply (and often when you do have the time, it goes south quickly!)
Each Marriage Thrive lesson comes with conversation prompts and date ideas to guide you into weekly 30 minute play and chat times with your spouse. Laughter and play are the glue that make even the toughest challenges bearable.... And these connections times are designed to help you keep falling in love over and over again

"We went from dreading difficult conversations to *looking forward to* them!
And the best part is that within two weeks of being in Marriage Thrive, we were laughing and having fun with each other again!
Brandon & Chrissy
"After 42 years of marriage, we are blooming again!"
As we apply the tools in Marriage Thrive and do Private Coaching calls with Julia, what we are learning about ourselves and each other is nothing short of miraculous. We are having connected conversations with each other and our loved ones as we listen, trust, and communicate in new ways.
Nathan & Michaela
"We went from barely surviving to new depths with each other we had no idea were possible."
We are still learning and choosing open & honest conversations which aren't always easy, but we see what can come from these types of conversations, we realize how much our relationship won't survive without them. If we had not done private coaching with Julia, we would have been so sad if we had missed out on what was possible for our marriage.

I'm Julia, your new relationship bestie.
I am passionate about helping couples create thriving lifetime marriages because when spouses feel connected and on the same page, everything about their whole life is just better.
hey there!
I often felt ashamed of my reactions.
I grew up never wanting my parent's marriage, and while Jeff & I really loved each other, each disconnected conversation seemed to push us further apart. I often felt ashamed about how ugly my reactions could be towards the one I loved. I feared that my desires were not possible.
But what I didn’t know was once I learned to communicate openly & honestly, I experienced even MORE than what I originally dreamt was possible. In 30 years of marriage, I am blown away by desires I had decided weren't possible are actually now our reality, like my husband being romantic and actually wanting to have deep conversations (which he said would never happen!). Being able to truly see and hear each other is a brand new concept for both of us, and it has been a complete game changer!
but it wasn't always this way.
By testing this system one conversation after another within my own marriage and with the thousands & thousands of conversations with the couples I coach, I have developed a proven-to-work approach that builds layer upon layer allowing couples to truly experience a Communication Renovation.
As a couple you get to move through the 3-step Communication Renovation process and begin experiencing small wins right away, which helps you gain confidence and hope to keep moving forward. With the Going Deeper Exercises, you will actively experience new ways of thinking, responding, and communicating with one another. And the best part is the Couple Connections where you will give and receive with your spouse as you weekly offer yourself through times of play & chat with your spouse.
What brought the two of you to fall in love with each other and want to spend the rest of your lives together is uniquely beautiful. At the start of Marriage Thrive, you will be asked to describe the specific marriage that you long for. What you want is different than what another couple wants and that is a beautiful thing.
Each step you take in Marriage Thrive will focus on your desired marriage. Rather than focusing on the past or what hasn’t worked for you, the focus will be on your desired future. When you get clear about the marriage you long for, it becomes like a north star lighting your way. There is not one right way to have a thriving lifetime marriage. There are endless options and that is what is so unique about Marriage Thrive - it simply invites you to become the best version of who you are together.
This course includes everything you need to thrive in marriage.
The results you get are up to you and your willingness to fully give yourself to growing a marriage worth having. The truth is that difficult conversations don’t go away, they just get harder to have. Your commitment to finding a way to have them now will determine the future of your marriage.
Becoming the spouse you are proud of being.
Building a communication system that will allow you to connect in every conversation no matter how difficult.
Learning to fight for your marriage rather than fighting for yourself.

Before we wouldn’t have been able to get past an argument and it would ruin the week. Now, we are able to move past it within an hour...
Or we're able to come back to it and revisit it without either side feeling betrayed or upset. We are able to recognize patterns more easily and apologize and restart or try again when we see we’re heading down an unwanted path.

Yes, It *Really* Works...
"We were on the fast track to emotional divorce and this process saved our marriage."
We didn’t know what to do as we kept having so many conversations that ended up in the same place every time. Now we are breaking those old cycles by learning how to be honest with ourselves & each other. Working with Julia has been life-changing. We have so much new joy and excitement to be on this journey with each other.
Buddy & Jill
"We now know exactly what questions to ask to get unstuck in conversations!"
We knew there was a lot of things we weren’t talking about. Our common response was, "I am fine," and then we would move on because we didn’t know how to go deeper with each other. Since working with Julia, we are learning how to be honest and choose growth. We are much more peaceful and confident in our relationship.

Frequently Asked Questions
Counseling gives you an opportunity to talk about your past and how it might be affecting you now. Coaching focuses on the future you long for and looks at whether the choices you are making now are taking you away from or towards that future.
Because it is work at your own pace, you get to decide that for yourself. The optimal option is to give Marriage Thrive about 90 minutes a week which gives you time for the course work, Going Deeper Exercises & your Play & Chat Times as a couple.
We can't transform what we can't see. Our certified Transformational Coaches will help you get to the root of what is blocking you from the marriage you want in a way that produces lasting results.
