But what if you\u2019re wiser than you think?<\/p>\n<p>For one thing, \u201ccompletely falling apart\u201d is pretty accurate for how things were going in my marriage when I started showing other women how to fix their relationships over 20 years ago. My marriage is pretty great now, but it\u2019s STILL not perfect. (Confession time: Just yesterday I had to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologicalscience.org\/news\/minds-business\/effective-apologies-include-six-elements.html\">apologize<\/a> to my husband after meddling in his conversation with the neighbors.)<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t need a perfect marriage or even an \u201cokay\u201d marriage as a prerequisite for Relationship Coach Training and Certification. I don\u2019t recommend cleaning the house before the housecleaner comes either.<\/p>\n<p>Your relationship will improve when you\u2019re in Relationship Coach Training and Certification. That\u2019s just what happens.<\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t practice the <a href=\"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/six-intimacy-skills\/\">Six Intimacy Skills<\/a> at the highest level in Laura Doyle Relationship Coach Training without getting a more peaceful, passionate, playful relationship.<\/p>\n<p>Like in Cindy\u2019s case. Her husband told her he didn\u2019t love her, had never loved her and then moved out. Then she found out he was having an affair with the bookkeeper. She was devastated and felt incredibly alone. Sounds hopeless, right?<\/p>\n<p>But after 30 years of marriage, three kids and a grandbaby on the way, she was in a tough spot because she just wanted her marriage back. She wanted to keep her family together.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where things stood when she enrolled in Relationship Coach Training and Certification.<\/p>\n<p>She was so afraid she\u2019d be the only one in the class whose marriage seemed like such a failure, but she was relieved to learn that some of her classmates were still waiting for their miracles too.<\/p>\n<p>When Cindy\u2019s husband dropped the other women and called special to tell her he loved her and that he\u2019d always loved her, everyone in her class was so excited and happy for her.<\/p>\n<p>Then, when he got down on one knee and begged her for forgiveness with tears in his eyes, the whole campus was celebrating for Cindy.<\/p>\n<p>When he moved back home in time for Christmas and put a new wedding ring on her finger, even Cindy was surprised at just how far she\u2019d come. (You can hear the whole story in her own words on Episode #207 of the Empowered Wife Podcast)<\/p>\n<p>Now Cindy\u2019s marriage is shiny and amazing and she\u2019s a Certified Relationship Coach with lifetime access to the coaching on our campus.<\/p>\n<p>When you enroll and participate in Laura Doyle Relationship Coach Training and Certification you\u2019re going to have a transformation in your marriage too. You\u2019re going to feel more desired, taken care of, and special.<\/p>\n<p>And your transformation is what makes you <em>qualified<\/em> to be a Certified Relationship Coach, just like me.<\/p>\n<p>And not <em>just<\/em> me, all the Certified Laura Doyle Relationship Coaches have that indispensable credential. That\u2019s step #1 for becoming an effective certified relationship coach. That\u2019s why Section 1 of Coach Training and Certification is dedicated to your own relationship.<\/p>\n<p>If your marriage is already flirty and fun, you\u2019ll take it even higher. But even if you\u2019re still having wall-to-wall hostility and days-long cold wars with no talking, you\u2019re ready to start Relationship Coach Training and Certification.<\/p>\n<div class=\"laura-six-intimacy-skills\" id=\"laura-3818421860\"><blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"display: inline; font-size: 23px;\">Related Article:<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/six-intimacy-skills\/\">The Number One Most Indispensable Skill for Fixing Your Marriage Fast.<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Choose_Your_Community_and_Accreditation\"><\/span>Step 2: Choose Your Community and Accreditation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16610\" src=\"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/relationship-certification-support-group.jpg\" alt=\"Relationship certification support group\" width=\"1336\" height=\"562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/relationship-certification-support-group.jpg 1336w, https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/relationship-certification-support-group-150x63.jpg 150w, https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/relationship-certification-support-group-480x202.jpg 480w, https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/relationship-certification-support-group-768x323.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/relationship-certification-support-group-1200x505.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1336px) 100vw, 1336px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Many people who join Laura Doyle Relationship Coach Certification have already studied other approaches to relationships like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nonviolent communication methods (Rosenberg, 1999)<\/li>\n<li>Understanding love languages (Chapman, 1995)<\/li>\n<li>Conflict management techniques (Gottman, 1994)<\/li>\n<li>The Life Coach School (Brooke Castillo, XXXX)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some students are Marriage Family Therapists and have been marriage counselors for years before they decide to get their Relationship Coach Certification with us.

Substantial Investment of Time and Money<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>While some coaches spend one weekend and pay a few hundred dollars for their certifications, Laura Doyle Certified Relationship Coaches make a substantial financial investment and spend at least a year in Relationship Coach Training and Certification. We\u2019ve trained hundreds of coaches for over a decade and that\u2019s how long it takes to become an effective relationship coach. Students often tell us it was the best investment they ever made.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Our_Secret_Sauce\"><\/span>2.

There\u2019s no better feeling than having the knowledge and skills to <em>actually help <\/em>someone make her marriage playful and passionate, and Laura Doyle Certified Coaches have that superpower.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Personal_Development\"><\/span>3. Personal Development<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Where most Relationship Coach Training and Certification programs are focused solely on conveying the skills you need for professional development, Laura Doyle Certified Relationship Training and Certification is equally devoted to supporting your <em>personal <\/em>development. Students often express their surprise and delight about how much of the program is about and for them personally, which is vital for success as a woman and a coach.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Lifelong_Support\"><\/span><strong>4. Lifelong Support <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>While some relationship coach training programs give you a certificate, wish you good luck with your career, and wave goodbye, Laura Doyle Certified Relationship Coaches get extensive, specialized ongoing support, materials, training, and community both as coaches and as wives. As mere mortal women, we all need ongoing encouragement and inspiration, especially if you\u2019re serving others with their relationship challenges. Laura Doyle Connect is committed to providing that. My vision is to spend the rest of our lives together, lifting each other up and lifting up the world.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Mission-Driven\"><\/span>5.

Now I have a beautiful pool!<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what I see with the coaches too. They arrive with stories of how they created the time, the finances and the space to train in ways they didn\u2019t imagine, just by honoring their desire. All they knew was they were drawn to Relationship Coach Certification.<\/p>\n<p>And by the way, since you\u2019re still reading this, that means you have a pretty strong desire to be in Relationship Coach Training and Certification.

Being part of a community of women who think marriage is important (Because it is!) helped me get the new habits that gave me the dreamy marriage I have now.<\/p>\n<p>But here\u2019s a confession: When I\u2019m not having conversations on the regular with women who practice The Six Intimacy Skills, I notice my marriage suffers. My old, unpleasant habits start to creep back in. It\u2019s like forgetting a language when you don\u2019t have the opportunity to speak it.<\/p>\n<p>Sharing what I\u2019ve learned about how to have a lasting marriage with other wives, standing for their greatness and encouraging them to become Certified Relationship Coaches is a vital part of what keeps my marriage playful and passionate.<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s not just me. Our coaches say the same thing&#8211;that having the Connection Framework of sharing with other like-minded women took their marriages higher than they could have imagined.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why I wish that every woman could be a Certified Laura Doyle Relationship Coach and an expert on the Six Intimacy Skills, and enjoy the benefits for her life, her marriage and her family that come along with it.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why I created this free masterclass called <em>Purpose, Prosperity and Intimacy: How to Have All 3 and Help Others Do the Same<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>If the idea of joining Laura Doyle Relationship Coach Training and Certification calls to you, I invite you to <a href=\"http:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/purpose\">register for that masterclass right here<\/a>.
