Work on the relationship together.

Couples come to us at many different points in their relationship. Sometimes communication has become harder than it used to be. The same disagreement keeps resurfacing. Expectations have changed. Trust has been strained. Life has become busy enough that the relationship itself is receiving less attention.

Other couples have a strong relationship and want to be more intentional about maintaining it.

Couples coaching creates room to look at the relationship itself instead of only reacting to the latest issue.

Two Perspectives in Every Couples Session

Every couples session is co-led by Richard and Nancy. Richard and Nancy may notice different parts of the same conversation, giving the couple two informed perspectives as the discussion unfolds. The goal is to understand what is happening between the two of you and help the conversation move somewhere useful.

What Couples Often Want to Work On

Communication

Conversations that break down, become misunderstood, or never seem to reach the real issue.

Conflict

Recurring disagreements and patterns that leave one or both partners frustrated, defensive, or disconnected.

Trust

Questions about reliability, follow-through, honesty, or rebuilding confidence in the relationship.

Intimacy

Changes in emotional or physical closeness and the ways partners experience connection.

Finances

Differences around spending, saving, priorities, responsibilities, or the meaning attached to money.

Boundaries

Expectations involving family, work, friendships, technology, responsibilities, and personal space.

Growth

How the relationship adapts as each person changes and as life moves into a different season.

Our Approach: Start With What Is Happening Between You

Couples often arrive focused on a particular problem. We pay attention to that issue, but we also look for the patterns underneath it. We look at how the two of you communicate when something matters, what happens when you disagree, and where the conversation tends to get stuck. The work is practical, designed to help you better understand what is happening between you and approach important conversations differently.

Our Framework: The 7 Foundations Framework™

The 7 Foundations Framework™ gives couples a common structure for looking at the parts of a relationship that influence everyday life: Communication, Conflict, Trust, Intimacy, Finances, Boundaries, and Growth. The Foundations help organize the conversation without reducing the relationship to a score.

What a Session Can Look Like

Begin With What Matters Now

You do not need to arrive with the perfect explanation of the problem. We begin with what has been happening and what each partner hopes will be different.

Look at the Interaction

Richard and Nancy listen to both partners and pay attention to how the issue is being experienced from each side.

Work Through the Conversation

A session may include guided conversation, reflection, or a practical exercise based on what is happening in the relationship at that point.

Leave With Something to Use

The work continues outside the session. Couples may leave with a conversation to continue, something to practice, or a specific issue to pay attention to before returning.

The Us Profile™

Some couples choose to include The Us Profile™ as part of their work with Richard and Nancy. Each partner completes the Profile independently. The resulting report looks at each person individually and then examines how their patterns interact within the relationship. The Us Profile™ can also be purchased independently.

Understanding the Scope of Coaching

Relationships Reimagined® provides relationship coaching and education. Richard and Nancy are not licensed therapists and do not provide psychotherapy or mental-health treatment. Couples coaching focuses on relationship patterns, communication, practical strategies, and how partners interact with one another. If concerns arise that require clinical treatment, Richard and Nancy may recommend working with an appropriately licensed professional.

Meet in the Way That Works for You

Couples sessions are available in person in DFW and/or virtually.

If Your Partner Isn't Ready: You Can Still Begin on Your Own

If your partner is not ready to participate, you do not have to wait to begin working on your own experience of the relationship. Individual Coaching gives you space to examine communication, boundaries, recurring patterns, decisions, and the parts of the relationship you can influence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do we have to be married?

No. Couples coaching may be appropriate for married couples, committed partners, engaged couples, or couples considering the future of their relationship.

What if my partner does not want to participate in coaching?

You can still begin through Individual Coaching. The work can focus specifically on your experience of the relationship, including communication, recurring patterns, boundaries, decisions, and how you want to approach the relationship moving forward.

How is couples coaching different from therapy?

Relationships Reimagined® provides coaching and relationship education rather than psychotherapy. Clinical mental-health concerns should be addressed with an appropriately licensed professional.

Are sessions available virtually?

Yes. Couples sessions are available in person in DFW and/or virtually.
