Over half of today’s marriages will
end in separation.
That's a fact!
While in love we feel we’re in the lucky 50%.
Creating a supportive partnership will more likely ensure it.
What important conversations haven’t you had?
Take the time for them now!

Rev. Robin Renteria, Ph.D.
The following are some of the topics of greatest importance to our happiness in relationships:
- Money How do we allocate our resources? Who decides on spending?
- Career Whose is more important when it comes to choices?
- Sex How often? How varied? Monogamous? Spontaneous/scheduled?
- Children Yes or no? When, how many? Who disciplines and how?
- Holidays With extended family? Whose traditions are honored?
- Vacations What is leisure? How much money is spent?
- Families How much in our lives? How do we do: visits? boundaries?
- Religion Do we observe a religion? Will our children be raised in a faith?
- Communication How do we disagree? How do we express wants and needs?
What's not ok when we argue? What are private signals when we're with others?
- Drugs/Alcohol Are there any rules? What’s moderation?
- Older Parents/Siblings What do we feel we must do: care for them, pay for care?
- Relationships with Other People Entertaining? Expectations? Friendships?
- Living Situations Neatness? Dividing chores and responsibilities?
- Wedding Who does what? How much is family involved?
- Pets Have or not? What kinds are ok?
- Alone Time How do we each recharge our batteries? De-stress? Get back to peace?
- Deal Breakers Under what conditions or circumstances will you NOT stay in the marriage?
Marriage Enrichment
Could you use help clarifying important topics, navigating this time with humor intact, improving communication, or deepening in your understanding of love and marriage? I can help you before or after your wedding day. Marriage is always a work in progress!
I offer a 3 session program,
or if you have specific desires in mind, I follow your lead.
Whatever we do, you set the pace, goals and agenda.
I don't require marriage enrichment conversations in order to officiate your wedding.
Life shrinks and expands in proportion to one's courage. ~ Anias Nin
