Marriage Intensive (Best 2024)
The problem is couples have unresolved resentments that prevent emotional and physical intimacy. Once that pattern becomes entrenched, hopelessness sets in, conflicts increase, and more resentments occur, creating a vicious cycle.
I know how this feels because my marriage used to be the same. I used to have a lot of resentments and felt out of love with my wife. However, I also know how it feels to heal those resentments and fall back in love and now I've helped thousands of couples do the same.
The solution is my ER marriage intensive!
In it, I will teach you step by step how to heal your resentments and rekindle your love.
Are you tired of feeling like roommates?
Are you ready to go all in?
Are you ready to give your marriage all you got?
If you answered yes, join my most comprehensive resource to fill your marriage with hope, love, and intimacy in 90 days!
The next intensive begins September 10th, 2024. Classes are virtual Tuesday nights from 5-6:30pm MST.

S.N.-previous attendant

6 Ways The ER Marriage Intensive Is Unique
1-Concrete Tools.
Traditional couples therapy involves both partners discussing their feelings the entire time, which often leads to complaints and defensiveness without any path forward. In contrast, ER is going to teach you skills to make real progress.
2-Live Training.
The majority of marriage classes are pre-recorded videos you must watch on your own. In contrast, ER is a live intensive with me through Zoom. Therefore, you'll receive live training, live practice, and live Q & A every week!
3-You Won't Be Singled Out.
Many people avoid couples therapy because they don't want to be singled out by the therapist. In ER, you won't be singled out because it's a class so it feels safer.
4-You Won't Feel Alone.
It's easy to feel isolated in your marriage problems because most people don't talk about them. In ER, you'll benefit from being in a group with other couples to see you're not alone in your marital journey.
5-You Won't Share Your Problems.
In most marriage classes couples are required to share their personal problems with the group. In ER, you won't be required to share any problems because the focus is on learning skills to improve your marriage.
6-You Won't Feel Lost.
In most marriage classes you learn information without any individualized support to apply the content to your situation. In ER, you'll receive 6 private sessions with one of our master coaches to apply everything you're learning in ER.
6 Things You'll Gain In The ER Marriage Intensive
1-You'll learn how to increase your commitment to marriage.
This will also include understanding the seasons of marriage, how marriage is a living organism, and how marriage is the ultimate refinement tool.

Enough of the blame game. You'll learn how you're contributing to the issues in your relationship and how to take ownership for those behaviors. You'll also learn an effective tool to give and receive constructive feedback without defensiveness.
3-You'll learn how to share power on decisions to feel like a team.
Sharing power means both you and your partner have an equal voice on all decisions that impact your marriage. Wouldn't that be nice? You'll learn skills to facilitate decision making so both you and your partner feel heard.
4-You'll learn how to resolve resentments and nurture your emotional intimacy.
Nothing else will go well in your marriage when there are active resentments. You'll also learn effective approaches to enhance empathy and emotional intimacy in your relationship.
5-You'll learn how to maximize your sexual intimacy.
Regular sexual contact is important for a healthy marriage, regardless of your libido, because it's important for emotional and physical bonding. You'll learn keys to enhancing this area of your marriage.
6-You'll learn how to stay in love.
Couples often think if they fall out of love the relationship is over. It's not. It's only over once both partners give up. The goal is learning how to stay in love and stay in love. You'll learn step by step how to do this in your relationship.

How much is the ER Marriage Intensive?
According to Forbes, the average cost of a divorce is between $15,000 and $20,000. Plus, there's the added monthly cost of child support if children are involved and most states require all assets be split 50/50. That's expensive!
For the same number of sessions to see me in my practice plus the six coaching sessions would cost $5,400. The cost for the ER Marriage Class is only $2,500.
Also, you can set up payments for as low as $225/month if you select "ShopPay" during checkout. You also may be able to use your Health Savings Account, Flexible Spending Account, or EAP program for the cost. Plus, it can be classified under CPT code 90853 as group therapy for insurance and you could get reimbursed around $360, depending on your insurance.
Common Objections and Answers to Enrolling
1- We've tried couples therapy before and it didn't work for us.
This isn't typical couples therapy that focuses on your feelings and gets nowhere. This is a skills based class that will educate you on the right way to develop a successful marriage.
2- Our schedules are too busy for this.
That's probably why your marriage is struggling, your schedules are too busy. If you want a healthy relationship, you have to make time for it because your marriage is alive. The intensive is only 1.5 hours per week. Cutting out some of your Instagram and TikTok scrolling could probably make up that time easily!
3- We can't afford it.
If you've been struggling in your marriage for awhile, the next step is usually a separation where you'll have to make an extra rent payment each month. If a separation doesn't inspire you to improve your marriage, the next step is divorce, which costs upwards of $20,000, not including child support and splitting all your assets 50/50. Therefore, this class is a wise investment to prevent major financial loss!
4- I want to join but my partner doesn't.
Even if you enroll alone you can become transformed from all the skills, insights, and strategies you'll learn in the class. The more you change as a partner, the more your partner could change in response.
