When your relationship reaches a crossroads, rushing rarely leads to clarity.

Many couples come to us feeling stuck—one foot in, one foot out—wondering if the relationship can improve or if it’s time to move on.

That’s where Discernment Counseling comes in.

Discernment Counseling is a short-term, structured process designed to help couples decide whether to stay or go—with clarity, confidence, and far less regret. It’s not about fixing the relationship right away or pushing an outcome. It’s about understanding what happened, how you both got here, and what direction truly makes sense next.

If you’re tired of living in limbo and want support in making a thoughtful, grounded decision, you don’t have to do this alone.

Should I stay or should I go? Discernment Counseling in Colorado helps couples facing divorce find clarity and a thoughtful way forward.

Most couples don’t get stuck because they don’t love each other.
They get stuck because they feel misunderstood.

Defensiveness can take over even the healthiest marriages. Emotional intelligence helps couples pause, become curious, and reconnect.

When things feel tense, distant, or stuck, it’s natural to wonder if counseling will truly help or be another expense and commitment.

In this post, I answer the most common questions couples ask me:

• Is it worth the cost?
• How long does it take?
• Do therapists take sides?
• Is counseling only for relationships in crisis?

If you’re unsure, feel free to contact us. You don’t have to handle this on your own.

As a marriage counselor, people often have common questions, which I will answer in this article: How much? How long? Do you take sides?

What if one of the healthiest examples of modern masculinity is hiding… on the Hallmark Channel? 🎄

My wife and I started watching Finding Mr. Christmas (yes, that Hallmark show), and I expected the usual guy-group energy: trash talk, lowbrow humor.

Instead, I saw something totally different.

These men are competitive and emotionally honest.

They support one another. They discuss grief, regret, and what they want to change about themselves. The show actually rewards that—strength and vulnerability, confidence and kindness.

It made me think that men are more likely to be their authentic selves when the culture around them makes it safe to do so.

And when men can express more than just (Bill Burr’s quote): “angry and fine,” they’re less depressed, less isolated, and more connected—both at home and within their communities.

I wrote a new blog about what “Mr. Christmas” masculinity gets right—and why we need more of it.

Hallmark’s Finding Mr. Christmas offers a surprising model of modern masculinity—strong, athletic, and emotionally open. This is the upgrade men deserve.

In relationships, it’s easy to measure our worth by how our partner responds to us.
But true peace and confidence come from within not from external validation.
When we ground ourselves in self-worth, we build healthier, more secure connections.

Ever wonder what healthy couples do differently?

It’s not that they never fight — it’s what they don’t do that makes the difference.

They don’t wake each other up to talk at 2 a.m.
They don’t assume every mess means disrespect.
There's more...

A couples therapist explains the five things emotionally healthy partners avoid—and how you can build a calmer, more connected relationship.
