How Our Programs Work
Learn how to have a successful and fulfilling marriage from a couple that has a successful and fulfilling marriage.
Reduce the chance of divorce AND Increase the chance for marriage satisfaction
Every person enters marriage with expectations—some openly discussed, some unspoken, and others they may not even realize they hold. Over time, when those assumptions surface and clash with reality, they can lead to frustration, disappointment, conflict, and all too often divorce.
When it comes to marriage, the difference between success and failure isn’t luck; it’s taking the time to truly prepare for this chapter in life. Our Premarital Counseling and Marriage Coaching programs bring those unspoken expectations to light so they can be discussed and plans put in place, transforming potential misunderstandings into opportunities for clarity and connection. When combined with the essential communication skills you’ll learn, this is the chance for you and your partner to align your vision for the future and build a strong, lasting foundation—together.
According to the Journal of Family Psychology, couples that complete a premarital program are 30% less likely to divorce. Let’s get started!

At home, you’ll use our custom workbook to explore how you and your partner differ in important areas like how you grew up, how you view communication and conflict, your values, your thoughts on intimacy, ideas about parenting, and attitudes on finances—uncovering both shared views and key differences that shape your relationship dynamic.
In each of your sessions with the married coaching team of Estrella and Robert Cudmore, we’ll dive into your workbook reflections and review assessment results, guiding you through meaningful conversations and practical exercises. Together, we’ll explore any disconnects, deepen your understanding of one another, discuss your future, and strengthen your connection. This is safe space where you can have these conversations without fear of judgment or bias. Our only goal is the success of your unique relationship.
Every session is designed to give you tools and knowledge you can use in your relationship right away—helping you communicate more effectively, grow as a team, and lay the foundation for a lasting and fulfilling marriage.
