Hope Relentless
Marriage Counselor Near Mountain America Stadium in Tempe
Less keeping score. A clear way to ask what your part is, and the nerve to start there. Both of you growing at the same time instead of waiting on each other. We coach you together at our Chandler office, about 21 minutes from Mountain America Stadium, or online.
30 minutes, free, no obligation. Both of you on the call.
Mountain America Stadium, at 500 E Veterans Way in Tempe, is the home of Arizona State football and seats about 56,000. From the stands, everybody is a coach. The mistakes on the field are obvious from up there.
A marriage can slide into the same view. It gets easy to watch your spouse's plays and call what they should have done. Meanwhile your own side of the field goes unexamined. Our teaching on this starts with a story most parents know: two teenagers, one pointing at the other's messy room while standing in a room just as messy.
Whose Room Is Messy? Owning Your Own Side
You can only change one person, and you are standing in their shoes. Four steps.

Notice where your eyes go
When you are frustrated, where is your attention? On what your spouse is or isn't doing, or on what you can control?
Walk into your own room
Write down one thing you bring to the pattern. Just one, and keep it about you.
Clean one corner
Pick a small, specific change on your side. Do it without announcing it or waiting for anything in return.
Stop auditing their room
Resist checking whether they cleaned. When both of you work on your own, the whole house changes.
Nobody is the project. Both of you own your side, and both of you grow at once.

Real coaches, real marriage
You'll be matched with Sarah-Gayle or me on your consultation. Sarah-Gayle holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Azusa Pacific, and works here as a coach, not a clinician. I'm an ordained minister. We've been married more than twenty years and have coached thousands of couples.
Questions Couples Ask
How far is your office from Mountain America Stadium?
About 21 minutes by car, 9.9 miles, based on Google Maps. The fastest route runs along AZ-101 Loop S. Event traffic can change that. Our office is at 3075 W Ray Rd #200 in Chandler. We also meet online.
What if I really am the one doing more?
That can be true, and it is worth saying out loud in a coaching session. Your part is still the only part you can change. We help you raise the imbalance in a way that opens a conversation, with both of you in the room.
Does owning my side mean I am taking the blame?
No. Ownership is not blame. It means you name what is yours so the conversation can move forward. Blame closes it down, and ownership tends to open it.
Start With Your Own Side of the Field
Thirty minutes, free, both of you on the call. We'll tell you honestly whether we're the right fit.
