Book Cover & Preview Text
What are you looking for in your relationship? Do you seek to feel safety, trust, respect, friendship, passion, and love?
If you are reading this book, I imagine you would like to improve some aspect of your relationship. If you are in deep conflict, would you like to find a way to end the war? While trying to communicate with your partner, do your feel like you are going to explode? Are you resentful because your most important needs are not being fulfilled? Do you feel you are not on the same page? Are you drifting apart, living separate lives? Have you lost the feelings of safety and trust in your relationship? Are you feeling the pain of loneliness because you have lost connection with your best friend? Do you long for the old spark of passion that has somehow been extinguished? Have you lost hope that anything will ever change?
The Journey from “I-TO-WE” is about helping you find the path to create dramatic change. Along the way, you will gain the awareness, skills, and techniques in order to move forward and create a life you will love to live. Through this journey, anything is possible if you really want it.
When you want a career, you go to school to gain the proper knowledge. Later, when you are hired for a job, you receive manuals and more specific training to learn required skills. Over time, you continue to train to gain proficiency in various techniques to be successful. You would not be expected to achieve career success without the proper education followed by ongoing training and fine-tuning.
No wonder relationships are in trouble! Human relationships demand tougher work and more refined skills than some of the most challenging jobs. Without taking a comprehensive relationship course, how do we learn the awareness, skills, and techniques necessary to have a successful relationship? Usually, we learn from observing our parents. However, judging from what my clients say, parents are not always the best leaders by example. Well, if Mom and Dad didn’t seem so happy together; why not learn from the movies, TV, and romance novels? Emotionally Intelligent Relationships exist in reality—not fantasy land.
So, what can you expect when you read this book and complete the exercises in the workbook? To explain why my process is different from other relationship guides on the market, I offer a description of each section that will lead you on your Journey from “I-TO-WE” as follows:
Section 1 – Lay the Foundation for Relationship Success
Begin with an assessment of your relationship. Move to making four commitments. Master the Conscious Discussion Technique to communicate your issues, problems, thoughts and feelings. Read about the twelve Relationship Languages.<SPAN style="mso-sp

About the Book
The Journey from “I-TO-WE” teaches couples how to gain awareness, learn skills, and practice techniques to be “Best Friends during the Day, Lovers at Night, and Partners for Life.” My structured coaching program—“Create an Emotionally Intelligent Relationship” —is a comprehensive guide. I developed the program to help individuals and couples achieve relationship success at home, at work and within themselves. The companion workbook provides interactive exercises, activities, and additional explanations to put this program into practice.
My framework models “the best of the best” teachings. In covering each topic, I blended highly respected research with insights from my own life experiences and coaching practice. The “Create an Emotionally Intelligent Relationship” program, as a result, uniquely encompasses all of the crucial areas and aspects of a couple’s relationship, and presents them in a personally powerful yet simple-to-follow, practical format.
Married couples, committed life partners, separated couples looking for a way to reunite, and pre-committed couples considering final vows of marriage will all benefit from following this program. An individual who has endured relationship difficulties in the past can also gain insight from this book to facilitate success in his or her next relationship opportunity.
Interwoven through each chapter is a case vignette based on a fictional couple, Steve and Amy. Their created roles reflect the stories, issues, challenges, and struggles of couples I have coached in my practice through the years. I added the case study to help couples understand how they can apply the awareness, skills and techniques contained in this book to their own situations. The Introduction serves as an overview of this couple’s relationship and sets the stage for the vignettes that follow.
My hope is that this book guides you on a wonderful journey together as you begin to cross the bridge into your field of sunflowers.
