Stephen’s Marriage Breakthrough Program is designed to end conflict fast, rebuild safety, and live in the best part of our marriage without therapy or blame.”
Question #1: What was the problem(s) that made you seek Stephens’ help?
My wife and I had everything you could wish for in life after 39 years of marriage. Material stability , a great home, 4 children and 7 grandchildren.
However, we could not stop going round in a vicious circle with one another for many years.
We would have good times but would inevitably return to very painful conflict and unhappiness for extended periods .
I could not understand this and felt it was impossible to make my wife happy.
I would become irritable and intolerant and step away until she hauled herself back.
I didn’t feel I could do anything about the cycle.
Question #2: What results did you get from the coaching program?
I found that there were things I could do to stop the cycle or save things quickly if we looked like dropping into it.
My wife has returned to her happy, confident self and clearly feels much safer with me. I feel like a cloud has lifted.
*Question #4: What exactly did you like most about the Marriage Breakthrough Program?
The key difference for me from this program, after previous failed attempts with various therapists and marriage guidance, etc., was to be continually drawn back to what I could do now to change things.
Not what was wrong with my wife, not about past life experience, just how I could react to things now. Not looking back at what’s wrong, but looking forward to what kind of life I want and what I can do to make that happen.
I no longer feel that it’s impossible to make my wife happy or that there are things outside my control making our vicious circle inevitable.
Her behaviour now is sticking to how it was in the good times, but now I feel empowered to understand what is needed from me to avoid the cycle repeating.
It’s about what I can do, not about what I think she should do or about our upbringings or personality disorders.
Before this course, I did not believe there was anything I could do to stop the cycle.
Now I feel clearly what part I can play.
Whether my wife is feeling conscious of her own changes or whether her changes are just a reaction to my changes, I don’t know, but I don’t think it matters.
When we have conflict, it is so much better to know how I can make things improve than to think I know what my wife should do differently.
*Question #5: Why would you recommend this Coaching Program to another Couples/Individuals who might be on the fence?
This course was unique for us. I think our previous courses amounted to individual therapy with an attempt to relate that to marriage. This course is about marriage and how that relationship can work for us.
That is what we needed.
*Question #6: Do you have any other benefits you want to mention about Stephen Hedger and the Marriage Breakthrough Program, or anything else you want to add?
As well as far greater happiness being together, we are finding it so much easier to plan things and run our lives.
Communication is so much improved.
*Question #7: What surprised you the most about the Coaching Program?
The real surprise is that the vicious cycle can be broken.
*Question #8: What is life like now that you’ve been through the Coaching Program?
It’s early days, but it seems we are sitting steadily at the positive part of our cycle without the inevitable drop into the abyss.
It’s a huge change.
