Marriage Coaching
What is marriage coaching? Well, let’s begin with what it is not. It is not Counseling or Therapy which focuses on the past. It is not Mentoring which is giving advice based on the Mentor’s experiences. (Although Jim and Jerolyn will occasionally offer mentoring advice.) While both of these are needed services, they are not where Jim and Jerolyn focus.
Coaching is a directed session of helping you find the answers you need for your marriage. It is beginning where your marriage is right now and setting goals for where you want it to be. When you start to envision the marriage you want, Jim and Jerolyn, as certified coaches, will help you develop the steps you need to get to that goal.
Here are some of the objectives Jim and Jerolyn will walk through with you over a 12-month contract.
