MARRIAGE.COACHING

A workout for your relationship.

Relationships - the most precious things we have

Every investment in your marriage is worth it!
Just like even a little practice in playing sports results in more fun and success,
a little advice and an outside perspective can make the difference in your relationship!

What do the two corners of the speech bubble mean?

Counselling

A simple conversation. Someone who is willing to listen. Put into words what is bothering me. This brings clarity and calms my thoughts.

Prayer
Questions help me to see new perspectives. Asking God lets me see things in a different light. I become willing to embrace change.

Couples conversations

Meet up with another couple who will offer advice at eye level.
At an initial meeting, you can get to know each other and decide if this is right for you.

Several couples we know and trust lead the couples' conversations.

Meet for a free initial consultation to decide if you're right for each other. After that, you can agree to another three to five sessions.

Couples who offer counselling can subscribe to the following:

In our own marriage, we have been helped by conversations and counselling - both in times of crisis and in our everyday lives.
We have been trained as counsellors at "LiSa Eheatelier" and we believe in the importance of God's offer to set people free.
Believers, doubters and sceptics are welcome. We look forward to meeting you.

If you're interested, fill out the attached form and send it in. We will transmit your registration to one of our counselling couples. They will contact you in order to set an appointment. Marriage.coaching is only responsible for establishing contact.

You can also find couples offering counselling though the "LiSa Eheatelier" Foundation. Find an offer near you: www.lisaeheatelier.ch

Team Trainings

Support and guide couples to trust each other anew and find strength in their relationship.
What issues do couples face? What can help them to overcome their struggles?

Connect and share ideas with marriage counsellors

To prepare a marriage counselling weekend, we will choose one relationship issue to discuss in depth. Experienced marriage counsellors as well as other interested couples support the organising team on a day of preparation. Personal and professional exchange of ideas helps to keep the content relevant to the issues participating couples face.

Field experience at a coaching event

After the team training, you will have the chance to gain experience in the field by helping out at a marriage counselling weekend as an intern. Here, you can learn from more experienced counsellors in practice and enhance your knowledge of a specific relationship topic.

Practical experience

Decide whether marriage counselling will be the new shared passion in your relationship. Gain experiences working together as a couple.

Enjoy a marriage coaching event together as a couple, and be a part of the organising team at the same time. Learn in practice how marriage counselling couples deal with challenges as team members. Support the team in prayer or by taking over various tasks.

Pre-requisite for helping at a marriage coaching event is taking part in the team training day, where you will help prepare both the content and administrative tasks for the coaching weekend.

Available tasks - you may assume any of the following tasks based on your experience, aptitude and willingness to try something new:

Support in prayer
Recount your personal experiences with a specified topic
Sett up and maintain experience places for couples
Moderate group and plenary sessions together with a member of the organising team
Pray with couples
Conduct counselling sessions with participating couples (prerequisite: trained at LiSa Eheatelier)

Peer support

Reflect on your own marriage as well as your counselling practice with a group of other counsellors.

Meet up twice yearly with a fixed group of other married couples who offer relationship counselling. We strongly recommend this for any couples offering counselling:

Peer support can help you deal with setbacks and emotionally straining situations
It helps to further develop and hone your skills
It keeps you grounded and helps you deal with mistakes
You are part of a team

These topics will be discussed at peer support meetings:

How do we work together as a couple offering counselling?
Which factors can help our client couples to trust us as counsellors?
Which attitudes in our client couples can impede their progress? How do we address these?
Which issues do couples face, and what strengthens their bond?

Get in touch with us.
We would love to talk to you about marriage counselling and how to best offer support to people in relationships.
