MarriageTeam Gets Results Here is what one couple had to say.  More comments can be seen in the testimonials.  "Leslie and I have been to many different counselors (five prior to MarriageTeam) in an effort to get our marriage on track. We’ve discovered several reasons why MarriageTeam coaching has proven to be significantly more effective than our past experiences: A) Open Ended Sessions [2-3 hours]; B) Very Structured Approach; C) Husband and Wife Coaching as Models; D) Real Life Examples and E) Authentically Caring Couple. The coaching received at MarriageTeam has already proven far more successful than our five previous marriage counsel experiences. After years of being unhappy, and at the end of our rope, we decided on a last ditch effort with MarriageTeam. After only three sessions, we are encouraged that this truly is the right path to a healthy and happy marriage. We both see the opportunity for a great marriage and look forward to life's challenges... together as a team! THANK YOU!!!" Couples who complete the marriage coaching program rate their coaching experience a 9.3 on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the best possible. Married couples who complete the program report an average documented 74% improvement in their relationship as a result of 8 to 12 coaching sessions as measured on a 10 point scale. MarriageTeam improves marriages and reduces divorce by delivering couple coaching services.  It also works with non-profits to provide effective marriage coaching and educates couples through marriage building seminars. We do this by Providing a marriage coaching service with trained couple coaches Helping communities establish effective coaching programs Training coach couples Leading marriage building seminars Significant Challenges to Marriages There are significant challenges facing marriages today and many are falling apart with significant negative impact on the families and children.

50% of those 30 and under are projected to have at least one divorce in their lifetime. 60% of divorces are simply for “poor communication.” The primary cause for for marriages ending in the first seven years is unreasonable expectations about marriage. Only 35% of couples remain together after the discovery of an adulterous affair. One million children watch their parents divorce annually. Half witness a second divorce before age 18. Children from divorced homes are 70% more likely to be expelled or suspended from school. MarriageTeam Gives Hope MarriageTeam was formed to answer these problems and to provide alternatives to churches and others who want to have a practical response to the following questions:

Are you frustrated with your marriage and want to do something about it? Are you concerned that pre-marital counseling isn’t enough to divorce proof your marriage? Do you know couples who are talking about divorce? Would you like to join a program that positivley impacts marriages and families and reaches out to your community? If you answered yes to any of those questions, then you should consider couple coaching as a practical approach that can have a significant impact on the marriages in your community. Studies have proven that coaching can address all these issues and have a positive impact on the divorce rates in your church and community. MarriageTeam has the tools you need; give us a call.
