Our StoryWe experienced serious

Marriage Conflict ourselves shortly after our first child was born. We got help and this is why we are here today doing

what we’re doing.

Page 9: 1 hour to Relationship WOW!

When you discover this…everything

changes.It’s continued to keep us together - even when

we have had our ups and downs.

Page 10: 1 hour to Relationship WOW!

Before we reveal the one thing that made the most positive WOW for our marriage…

• Let’s understand the most important ingredient, the prerequisite, for any marriage to succeed.• The absence of this ingredient is the number #1 cause for

divorce.• What do you think it is?

Don’t tell me I have to do anything else!

We’re not here to hit you over the head and blame you for your marriage problems by giving you a whole speech that you aren’t committed enough.

We are going to explore what makes couples commit or cease to commit and how our relationship wow can allow you to recommit in a whole new way.

Page 13: 1 hour to Relationship WOW!

People stay in a marriage for all sorts

of reasons.-children-finances

-peer pressure-negative beliefs about divorce

-fear of the future

Page 14: 1 hour to Relationship WOW!

If you’re staying together for the kids or for $$, these things are not enough in the long run.

You MUST have a REAL DESIRE to be with your spouse. Otherwise, when times get too hard, you’ll bolt.

Page 15: 1 hour to Relationship WOW!

But what if I…• Have fallen out of love?• Think my spouse is the problem?• Feel like I married the wrong person?• Think I would be better with someone else?

Page 16: 1 hour to Relationship WOW!

What got us back on track?We were able to re-commit to our relationship because we discovered our relationship WOW. Once we understood this WOW, everything began to make sense. We understood why we were suffering and we had hope that things could be better.

We discovered….

…The Secret Agenda of Relationships

Page 18: 1 hour to Relationship WOW!

There is a reason why you picked your spouseand there is a reason why you are fighting now

Page 19: 1 hour to Relationship WOW!

Why did you pick your spouse?

What made them stand out over everyone else you may have dated?

There was something special, a feeling that you might not be able to put your finger on.

Page 20: 1 hour to Relationship WOW!

The Imago• Imago=image• We all have an unconscious image of our ideal partner• This image is a composite of the positive and negative characteristics of our primary caretakers• In other words, marriage is the unfinished business of childhood.• We fall in love with someone who will help us recreate what was so

familiar and actually get it right this time, if we get conscious

Page 21: 1 hour to Relationship WOW!

We all have unmet childhood needs• Whether you had bad parents or good parents, they weren’t able to

fulfill all of your needs.• We seek out a spouse that will help meet those needs we didn’t get• The problem is that it’s not so easy. The one who can heal us the most

also can hurt us the most. The thing we need most from our spouse is the hardest thing for them to give and viceversa.

Page 22: 1 hour to Relationship WOW!

The Three Relationship Stages• 1) Romantic Love- the attraction that hooks us in and anesthetizes us.• 2) The Power Struggle- the eternal conflict most couples face• 3) Real Love- The conscious marriage

Page 23: 1 hour to Relationship WOW!

Conflict is for the purpose of growth and healing

• Back to our story: When we discovered the very conflict that we were experiencing was tailor made for us, based on our Imago, we were able to recommit• We saw the big picture, the secret

agenda• We were sold on our relationship, now

all we needed to learn were the skills that would help us move on our journey towards a conscious relationship

What if your spouse doesn’t remind you of your parents?

What happens when people commit?

“A couple came for a 2 day intensive to decide if they should stay together after years

of marriage or separate. They just weren’t sure they could each get their needs

fulfilled in this relationship. The husband complained that his wife was wishy-washy

about what she wanted. He thought, if she would be completely committed to the

relationship, then the 2 of them could work hard to meet each other’s needs and

create a happy life together. As they were sharing a deep dialogue with each other

about the pain they were experiencing, she blurted out, “I’m committed!” Tears

flowed down his face and he stepped out of the process and asked, “What did you

say?” She said, “I’m committed to our relationship.” It was a touching moment and the

beginning of a complete shift in their relationship. After years of thinking that this

relationship was going nowhere, they decided to make it work. And to this day, it has

worked!

Page 27: 1 hour to Relationship WOW!

Commitment is Freeing!“The irony of commitment is that it is deeply liberating: in work, in play, in love. The acts frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around as rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life”. – a Starbucks Cup

Page 28: 1 hour to Relationship WOW!

Understand why you’re experiencing the conflict

you are facingYou’ll have an easier time committing

Because it’s not about it being better elsewhereIt’s all about loving the one you’re with

Page 29: 1 hour to Relationship WOW!

You’re off to a good start…

Commitment will redirect you and get the energy flowing in the right direction, but you need more knowledge about relationships and

practical skills that you can apply.

Worst Marriage Ever?I receive your weekly blogposts and read your recent post entitled “ How do you know when your marriage is over?”. You debunked common reasons that couples see as warranting divorce and boldly claim that even the worst marriage can be saved. I wanted to write you so that you can share with your readers our story because if any marriage was doomed to fail, it was surely ours.We came to see you almost a year ago for therapy. As you may remember we only came for one session and we were in bad shape. My husband did not want to continue and being that we he was unemployed and I was making a meager salary, we couldn’t afford weekly sessions. We did get your digital program though we didn’t touch it for months. The marriage got worse to the point where he through burning grease at my face. I thought it was over. Things only got worse from there. My husband was put in jail on false charges, I lost my job, and then I found myself sick for months. I discovered there was a sewage leak in my bedroom that was contributing to my condition. This was the turning point. When we first received the digital download, I downloaded your audio mp3s to my husband’s phone, hoping he would listen to them.I started to notice that our communication had changed. He had implemented some of the strategies you suggest on his own. We began connecting again. We stopped the constant bickering. For the first time in a long time, I had hope that our marriage could succeed.We are now expecting our first child any day now and couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much. Your program saved our marriage and we are eternally grateful. Please continue to let other couples know that if your program could help us, it could help anyone, as you would be hard pressed to find a marriage as bad as ours was.Z, Baltimore, MD
