You’re in love, you’re engaged, and you’re planning for your future together. But along with all the excitement before the wedding, it’s normal for there to be a lot of other emotions, too.
While all of these concerns are entirely normal, it doesn’t have to be this way.
Integrating two lives into one, both emotionally and practically.
Complexity of feelings as a new relationship seemingly creates loss in other relationships.
Keeping the passion alive through the stressors of planning a
wedding.
Addressing differences in earnings or financial backgrounds
Supporting healthy relationships among members of blending families.
Managing expectations from parents and other family members, both at the wedding itself and your life together after.
Balancing dedication to careers with attention to one other
Making big decisions together in the future, like buying a house or having children.
Navigating how differences in cultural and class backgrounds may create sore points in the relationship
If you know you could use support in some of these areas, and you’re starting a life with your special person, Marriage Coaching is for you. Investing in marriage coaching is just a fraction of the cost of your wedding, but the results are going to last for decades beyond the big celebration!
Collaborating with Francesca Sternfeld, Marriage Coach, will give you the opportunity to work closely with a professional to develop invaluable tools and healthy habits as you build the foundation of your marriage. You’ll gain:
A sense of serenity and security with each other, knowing that you’ve talked through any pain points in your past and are clear about your current relationship.
Pride that you’re building an incredible relationship together and you’re both in it for the long haul.
Confidence that your partner is right for you and that you’ll have a successful marriage.
Skills to help you handle anything that comes your way.
Whether you’re two young professionals preparing for a life together or you represent two families getting ready to form a new union, the path through marriage, to life as newlyweds is one that can have many joys and challenges in equal measure.
Love is exciting and should be celebrated! You’re making one of life’s most important commitments to each other…But there are also a lot of unknowns.
In the wedding planning process, it’s easy to get so caught up in the planning that you’re already having a hard time prioritizing your relationship. And you both have completely unique life experiences and family dynamics that add layers of complexity to your experience as a couple. Prepare for a life together, whether it’s your first or second marriage, and create the perfect foundation for a happy blended family.
Your relationship is unique, so Francesca provides marriage coaching options that work with your timeline and needs.
Choose from 2 packages, customized to your timeline and the level of support you want. All packages include sessions before the wedding and after, providing you with continuous support from the butterflies stage, past the honeymoon stage and settling into the world of day-to-day married life
Note:
Additional Tune-Up sessions available on request for with any package
A marriage coach should have both significant training and diverse life experiences to be able to connect meaningfully with each couple’s unique love story.
As a psychotherapist, I trained for 10 years and have been licensed since 2016. While I love serving couples and families in the context of therapy, my passion is to be able to help even more love birds around the country through marriage coaching.
I not only have a clinical background, but I have a deep respect for diverse experiences and couples, having lived in Egypt, Cuba, and Italy and having traveled to 25+ countries.
I speak five languages, so if you and your partner have diverse cultural backgrounds, it’s possible you could share in your native language during our coaching sessions if that helps ensure that I really get what you need and how you’re feeling.
More than anything, I truly believe having a marriage coach will keep couples together. So many people hit rough patches early in married life and feel like their world has been turned upside down. To build trust with a professional before those natural tough moments means that we’ll all know you can handle it and keep moving forward. My commitment to my coaching clients is to use all my skills and knowledge to give them as many tools as possible for a long, fulfilling and successful marriage.
Marriage journey coaching is available to couples all over the US through video sessions. If you’re interested in meeting in person and live in New York City, in-person coaching may be an option. Please inquire for details.
I’m committed to supporting couples of all backgrounds, cultural identities, sexual orientations, and gender identities. My experiences living in other countries, traveling the globe, and of course, my clinical practice give me the passion and the tools to support couples of all kinds. While I know that each couple is unique, the tools I can share are of service to anyone who wants to invest in their relationship.
The Whirlwind package is ideal for couples looking for premarital coaching with just a few months to go until the big day! It includes two coaching sessions per month for the three months before the wedding and two coaching sessions per month for the three months after the wedding. That’s plenty of meetings to smooth out any pain points going into the wedding and anything that comes up in the first few months after the dust settles.
Most of us have heard of premarital counseling, but most couples aren’t supported after the wedding day at that same level. This is a shame, because often, the issues at the forefront of our minds before the wedding are not the same things that come up in the first few months of actual marriage. Coaching after the wedding goes beyond the typical premarital concerns, and delves deeper into skills that will equip you for a lifetime of finding common ground, feeling fulfilled in your union, and protecting the passion that made you fall for each other in the first place.
You don’t have to wade through the sometimes tumultuous waters of wedding planning, joining two lives, and early marriage alone. Gain the support of a marriage expert and learn invaluable tools that will allow you to confidently face any relationship challenges that come your way. Your beautiful life together is just beginning.
