So, what does a marriage coach do?<\/p>\n

Good question. The realm of marriage coaching can seem mysterious for those of us who have been to individual or couples counseling but never had a coach except in school sports.<\/p>\n

Marriage counseling is all that any of us had for a long time. It still tends to be the point of reference when picturing professional help with a relationship.<\/p>\n

That was the case for tens of thousands of women who have come to my campus. I get so sad hearing their war stories, especially one recurrent refrain: Those who did manage to get their husbands to go to marriage counseling report that it didn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n

All too often, it made things worse.<\/p>\n

Marriage coaching was the last stop on the block\u2013and the first thing that worked for them.<\/p>\n

I should know because I am one of those women. My husband and I spent thousands on marriage counseling, only to end up worse off than we were in the first place.<\/p>\n

Then I tried a new approach, which got me the bedroom eyes and butt pats I\u2019d hoped for all along.<\/p>\n

Here are 3 key differences between marriage coaching versus counseling to help you decide which is right for your relationship.<\/p>\n
