Marriage Hope Coach

In the bad old days, I was often frustrated with my husband's habits. I wanted him to help me more and be more loving towards me. I would complain that he was lazy, "too particular", and always micromanaging me. As a die-hard romantic, I did not want to give up on the idea that we could have a loving, fun marriage that really felt like a team. I knew there must be things I could do to influence our relationship for the better—I just needed to find out what those things were and do them!

I always enjoy my coaching sessions with Sherry. She is a warm, safe person who I can be myself with and talk about what's really going on. She is easy to relate to and share with. Somehow by talking to her, I can see the bright side of a situation and focus on doing my part to make my marriage as great as it can be.

With Sherry's help, I've built better habits of taking care of myself, and that improves my marriage since I'm not so irritable. I've also gotten better at taking responsibility for my part in the marriage, like creating the positive changes I'd like to see. If I'm annoyed about my husband's mess, I focus on making myself happy, clean up my own messes and practice gratitude for what my husband already does that's GOOD. If I start wishing for a more active lifestyle with him, I find a way to be active without him instead of complaining about him.

I would absolutely recommend Intimacy Skills private coaching to others. As a new mother, I can see how the stresses of parenting small kids can wear on couples and frustrate a marriage. I rely on these Skills daily to keep my relationship with my husband loving and fun. Without coaching, the Skills are MUCH harder for me to actually put in practice. Getting regular coaching keeps me positive and accountable so I can create the marriage I want.

Prior to working with Sherry, I was in constant needless emotional turmoil. I was all over my husband's paper and although I was aware that I should get off of it, I just couldn't seem to figure out how to actually do that. I was very afraid of letting my guard down and of getting hurt. I was so sure that my husband was not invested in our marriage and couldn't stop looking for evidence to support that painful narrative I had. I felt lonely and often unhappy.

I knew there was a lot of wisdom and value in Laura Doyle's books that really resonated with me. I just didn't know how to apply it in my specific situations and day to day life. I knew I needed the help of a coach to give me the insights I was missing to finally create the relationship I had craved for so long.

During our sessions Sherry always made me feel incredibly safe in sharing my deepest, most vulnerable thoughts and challenges. I felt I could open up to her about anything and she would receive it with kindness, empathy and understanding. I found a lot of hope and inspiration from Sherry's own story of how she used the skills to turn her marriage of many years completely around. Her mastery of the skills and invitations helped me come farther in my marriage than I could have imagined possible. Sherry always stood for my vision and thanks to her, I never lost hope that my marriage could be amazing. I am so grateful to her!

With intimacy skills private coaching, I learned how to catch myself before spiraling into needless emotional turmoil and ways to combat that with new patterns that served my vision for my relationship and for the woman I wanted to be. I was finally able to have the courage to be vulnerable with my husband and create the intimacy and connection that I had been hoping for so many years.

I would 100% recommend intimacy skills private coaching to any and every woman wanting to create intimacy, passion, and connection in her marriage as well as improve any other important relationships in her life!
