The OurRelationship program is online and includes 8-10 hours of tailored content and activities designed to uncover, understand and solve the relationship issues that couples face. The program takes four to six weeks to complete and can be self-directed or guided by a program coach. When completed with a coach, the program includes weekly 20-minute calls.
The programs we offer are online, self-help programs – they’re not therapy. In many ways, our programs are better than therapy because you can do them on your own time from any location. Our results show that the programs are just as effective as in-person marriage counseling.
You can complete the program at your own pace, but most of our couples complete it in one to two months. If you’re working with a coach, you’ll have access to that coach for up to two months.
