For couples who want their pre-baby relationship back.
Parenting changes every relationship in unique ways.
Trying to fix a relationship without really understanding its unique issues is like trying to fix a car without knowing what kind of car you have.
Learn the specific strengths and growth edges of how YOUR relationship has responded to parenting, so you can make the changes that need to be made and enjoy parenting together.
Even if you aren't ready to bring all this to your partner yet, that's okay. The assessment can be completed as a couple, or alone. Either way you can benefit from a new perspective at what may be underpinning the issues you are struggling with.
Get a free assessment to learn your relationship's PERSONAL ROADMAP to getting things back on track.
Unfortunately, white-knuckling the problems won't make them go away.
The research is clear: most of the 67% of couples whose relationship goes sideways once they start parenting don't see it improve unless they take meaningful action to reorganize and rebuild.
But how do we even start digging ourselves out?
You're probably aware that things aren't... great. You're snapping at each other more. You're in "roommate mode." Maybe you even dread time alone, when the silence gets REAL loud. How do we get back to our old selves?
Most couples who are parenting have very little time and energy lying around. Especially in those early years, it can be hard enough just to get dinner on the table.
With so little opportunity to look at the big picture, they address their relationship as it happens: we have the argument that is in front of us. Something comes up, we try to figure it out, we move forward.
The problem with this is that it doesn't take into account the whole relationship, and how it has been impacted by parenting. Parenting adds unique layers and dynamics, and without knowing how these have affected your relationship specifically, you're left to just deal with whatever happens to be in front of your face in the moment.
You need a PLAN. And in order to make a plan, you need to know what you're working with. Which layers of parenting have you guys sailed smoothly into? And which layers have created the biggest pinch points? Where do we want to start? Do we even see these things the same way?
Those are the questions you can answer after completing this free assessment. Learn the unique topography of YOUR relationship, now that parenting is in the mix. With this information you can move forward with a cohesive strategy to rebuild, improve, and get things back where they belong.
Who are you and how would you know what we need?
Hi! I'm Shelley Green. I've been a mental health therapist for well over a decade, and I specialize in perinatal mental health. That means I spend hours (and hours) talking to parents about their lives. One of the things we talk most about is their relationships. Because for SO MANY parents the changes to their relationship are one of the most difficult parts of their new lives as parents. Since this is such a large part of our focus, I have developed a perspective, tools, and strategies to support parents in preserving and improving their relationship after becoming parents, and I want to share those with you. I know your relationship can be as strong (and even stronger!) than it was before you became parents.
And it starts with... knowing where to start!
