We created Better Halves so everyone can have the better relationship they deserve.
After thousands of hours in the therapist’s seat, we saw a pattern in couples that we couldn’t deny: nearly every couple who seeks to save their relationship approaches conflict in more or less the same way. And this kills their relationship satisfaction by eroding their level of connection over time.
We realized that if couples could change that approach, they could break the dysfunctional pattern of fighting that was driving them apart.
Although we love helping couples in the therapy room, there were some shortcomings with the standard couples therapy model that was holding couples back from being able to achieve their goals in a timely manner. The classic hour long session and the wait time between appointments meant that couples were left struggling for too long.
This inspired us to launch Better Halves and to create SMART Conflict for Couples.
How do we know SMART Conflict for Couples works?
Because we live it.
Not only have we seen the benefits that SMART Conflict for Couples has in the lives of our own clients and customers, we also follow the very same principles in our own relationship.
As a happily married couple for over a decade - with two young children - we know first hand that a healthy approach to conflict is the secret sauce that keeps couples close.
Using the common sense principles of SMART Conflict for Couples, we’ve created a relationship that stays strong and connected as we grow together.
