Stronger Together:

A 6 Week Marriage Reset for Couples

The Reality Most Couples Don't Talk About

Marriage rarely falls apart all at once.

It drifts. Slowly. Through exhaustion, unspoken frustration, repeated arguments that go nowhere, and the quiet distance that builds when two people stop truly connecting.

Most husbands aren't unwilling — they're untrained. Most wives aren't asking for too much — they're just worn out from carrying the emotional weight alone.

Stronger Together was created for couples who still love each other but know something has to change.


How It Works

Husbands and wives meet in separate, gender-specific groups at the same time — each led by a licensed therapist, each working through the same themes from their own perspective.

You grow individually. You practice together at home. You come back the next week and go deeper.

Every session is grounded in the Gottman Method — the most extensively researched approach to marriage in the world.

6 weeks. 6 sessions. 90 minutes each.

$60 per couple, per session

Saturdays, 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM March 21 – April 25


The 6-Week Journey

Week 1 — Rebuilding Friendship How well do you actually know your partner right now? We start where every strong marriage starts — not with conflict resolution, but with genuine connection.

Week 2 — Turning Toward Each Other Small moments matter more than grand gestures. This week focuses on recognizing and responding to the everyday bids for connection that make or break intimacy.

Week 3 — Conflict Without Combat Not all conflict is the same. Learn to tell the difference between problems that can be solved and the perpetual ones that need a completely different approach.

Week 4 — Eliminating the Four Horsemen Criticism. Defensiveness. Contempt. Stonewalling. These four patterns predict relationship breakdown — and all four can be unlearned.

Week 5 — Repair and Trust Strong marriages aren't conflict-free. They recover well. This week is about how to come back to each other after things go sideways.

Week 6 — A Shared Vision What kind of marriage do you actually want to build? We close by looking forward — and giving you a framework to keep growing long after the group ends.

Each week includes structured take-home exercises to practice what you've learned with your spouse.


For Husbands

Led by Todd Nall, LPC

No one ever taught most of us how to do this — how to respond when emotions run high, how to hear criticism without shutting down, how to repair after a sharp word, how to lead in our marriage not just logistically but emotionally.

In this group, men talk openly — without posturing, without the pressure of having to perform. We'll get into why we go quiet, why we get defensive, why it sometimes feels like we can't win no matter what we do — and what to actually do instead.

This group is for husbands who:

  • Love their wife but feel the distance growing

  • Are tired of the same arguments leading nowhere

  • Want to lead their marriage with steadiness and skill

  • Are ready to grow — not because they have to, but because they want to


For Wives

Led by Vandi Nall, LPC

So many women describe the same feeling: carrying the emotional weight of the relationship, not feeling truly heard, loving their husband but missing the closeness they used to have.

This group is a space to be honest — about the exhaustion, the unmet needs, the communication patterns that keep escalating — without blame and without pretense. You'll leave with real tools: how to express what you need clearly, how to break cycles that aren't working, how to rebuild the trust and friendship that's at the core of every healthy marriage.

This group is for wives who:

  • Want to feel emotionally connected again

  • Are tired of repeating the same conversations

  • Want communication skills that actually work

  • Still believe their marriage is worth investing in


Ready to Take the Next Step?

Strong marriages aren't built on perfection. They're built on skill, humility, and the willingness to keep showing up — for each other, and for the relationship you both deserve.

If your marriage is drifting and you're ready to do something about it, this is where to start.

Why Separate Groups?

Why a Group Just for Men?

Because men talk differently when women aren’t in the room.

There’s less posturing.
Less defensiveness.
More honesty.

In our husbands’ group, we’ll talk openly about:

  • Why we shut down

  • Why we get defensive

  • Why we sometimes feel like we can’t win

  • How to stay steady when emotions rise

  • How to rebuild friendship with your wife

This isn’t a place to complain about your spouse.

It’s a place to get stronger as a husband.

Why a group just for Women?

Because women open up differently when they feel emotionally safe.

In our wives’ group, we’ll talk honestly about:

  • Feeling unseen or unheard

  • Emotional burnout

  • Communication patterns that escalate conflict

  • How to express needs clearly without criticism

  • How to rebuild trust and friendship

This isn’t about blaming your husband.

It’s about gaining clarity, strength, and communication tools that protect your heart and your marriage.
