Marriage mediation helps couples stay married by helping them find solutions to unresolved conflict. We don’t waste your time, or ours. We get right down to business and confront the real issues head on.

When couples have insurmountable problems, they commonly see divorce as the only solution. What they don’t know—there is another solution—Marital Mediation. So before you call a divorce attorney, let us get your relationship back on solid ground.  

A marriage mediator facilitates communication between the couple, which impowers them to sets goals and objectives together. Solutions are generated using strengths to discover hidden interests and gain understanding that create options that break impasses. Fatal flaws are examined and choices are made using a short-term, solution-focused process that uses dispute resolution techniques in a problem-solving manner. Basically, this is a no “B.S.” approach to coming up with a solution that works for both of you. 

Is Marriage Mediation the Same Thing as Marriage Counseling?

Marriage Mediation is not couple’s counseling. It does NOT explore feelings, emotions, family history or “pathologize” issues. Instead, problems are identified, tradeoffs made, and solutions agreed upon. The process brings about behavioral change, rather than internal change (based on insight) as with couples counseling. The goal of the mediation process is to assist each person to recognize their own solutions. Agreements that are jointly made are more stable and people feel more likely to uphold them.  

Who Needs Marriage Mediation?

Marriage mediation works best for married couples who have not been able to find a solution to problematic issues on their own. This type of mediation is not for couple’s who are planning to divorce. If you are planning to divorce, a better service is Marital Closure counseling.

"Memorandum of Understanding" Agreement 

Once Marriage Mediation sessions are concluded, the next step is to get it all down on paper. It is human nature to revert back to old habits so to prevent that from happening, once agreements have been made they will be memorialized in a written contract that includes all of the decisions they have agreed to in Marriage Mediation. This contract is called a Marital Agreement or a Memorandum of Understanding. This will be a document used as a template for going forward in their marriage.

What our Clients Have to Say!

“When my husband left me and my two young children, I was devastated, I think he was having an affair, but I wasn't sure. That's when I called the Relationship Resolution Center to see if they could help me save my marriage. Nancy helped me get focused, get my life back in order, and gave me tools to fight for my marriage. Within a couple of months, my husband stopped talking about divorce, wanted to end the trial separation, and was spending a lot more time at home. Finally, I feel hopeful, and it looks like it will save my marriage. I'm going to keep doing more of the same because it's really working. I appreciate all your help. Thanks!! We have even added a member to our family!! Welcome baby Leo.”—AW (Service: Individual Counseling for How to Save My Marriage)

“Nancy is AMAZING! I’ve struggled for years whether to leave my husband or not. She is extremely helpful, insightful, and offered incredible information to help me get the clarity I’ve been after. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I wish I’d called you years ago.”—PQ (Service: Individual Counseling for Not Happy in My Marriage)

“My mother bought me a gift certificate for the Relationship Resolution Center. I was pretty uncomfortable about calling but Nancy was so easy to talk to, and so knowledgeable. After two sessions, I feel so much better. I was devastated when my husband left me for another woman. I recommend Nancy so highly.”— BR (Service: Divorce Recovery Counseling)

“Thoughtful, great insight. Takes the time to listen and offer advice. I look forward to my sessions with her every week.”— KF (Service: Divorce Planning Coaching)

“I was out of hope when I first spoke with Nancy. A month earlier my husband told me he wanted a divorce, packed a bag and went to his brother’s house. I was desperate to save my marriage and learned that I was doing everything wrong. Worse yet, what I was doing was driving him further away from me. Nancy taught me a strategic approach that is working. My husband moved back home a couple of weeks ago and we are in couples counseling now. Nancy’s approach worked. Thank God I found her. She will help you too, I swear!!!!” — AY (Service: Individual Counseling for How to Save My Marriage)

“My wife has been going through a midlife crisis and has been slipping further away from me every day. I demanded that we go to couple’s counseling. Simply put, she said no. I turned to Google for help and found Nancy. We worked together off and on for a few months and I can honestly say, she saved my marriage. Last night my wife thanked me for putting up with her and giving her the space and patience to work through some of her issues. My wife is back to normal and our marriage is thriving again. I can’t thank you Nancy enough for holding my hand and guiding me on such a black road.” —HM (Service: Individual Counseling for Not Happy in My Marriage)
