Avoid the D's that create Divorce
(distress, depression, disconnection, dismay, disregard...)
And... BE MARRIED FOREVER WHILE PARENTING TOGETHER with
The DNA Way to Communicate!
I've worked with families, marriages and kids in many different situations. Marriage undergoes great stress when a little one is added to the household.
If that stress is not resolved, the marriage is often compromised and over time becomes “roommate or business-partner” status.
The D's move in, and destroy the love you once knew.
Real life, and research affirm this sad truth over and over.
This is so very sad and very painful.
And, it is fixable!
We will work practically and efficiently to build the skills needed to stay
couple- as well as kiddo-connected.
Yes, I have a lot of professional knowledge and skill.
I also have practical experience. My husband Chip and I were using the DNA Way to Communicate long before it had a name!
We've raised 4 steady, and sturdy kids, (now adults!) all while maintaining an authentic and fun relationship.
It was not easy at times.
It was and is worth the work!
We worked through the tough stuff together. We may have missed the mark from time to time but key components of staying in it together with give-and-take and graciousness allowed us to make it through those parenting years. AND WE STILL USE THESE DNA Way to Communicate skills today!
Discover how the DNA Way to Communicate transforms
your marriage with kids to be
