It’s about Connection, not Communication
Your marriage can fail with neither of you doing anything wrong, especially if you focus more on communication than connection. In that case, the same unconscious emotions that brought you together will likely tear you apart.


Couples don’t really fight about money, sex, jealousy, raising the kids, or in-laws. It’s the different ways that men and women cope with two unconscious emotions — fear and shame — that are ultimately responsible for poor communication, fear of intimacy, addictions, affairs, abuse, and most divorce. Take the Fear-Shame Quiz for Women or for Men.



Women: Learn How to Forge a Closer Connection without Driving Your Man Away

Men: Learn How to Strengthen Your Marriage without Becoming Women! Solidly based on neuroscience and social-science research, this fun workshop shows how a new understanding, combined with a set of brief, routine behaviors, is guaranteed to strengthen your marriage. Best of all, you can do it without feeling like you have to talk or behave like a woman.

The following topics covered in Part I of the workshop show why research and your personal experience prove that talking about it usually makes things worse:

  • Broken connection: Fear and shame
  • Why we fight
  • The Silent Male: What he’s thinking and feeling
  • The worst thing a woman does to a man
  • The worst thing a man does to a woman
  • The need for compassion.

Part II will show how to create love beyond words, based on your core value:
  • Recognizing hidden fear and shame
  • Overcoming resentment
  • Developing binocular vision
  • Forget feelings, think motivation
  • The only connection skill you need
  • Protect-and-connect
  • When sex talks, who needs words?
  • Power Love: 4 3/4 minutes a day to a powerful relationship
  • The fear-shame shakeout ritual of deep connection.
