Creationships Marriage Coaching for Couples is a unique program created by Rev. Laura C. Cannon. It is designed to help couples look past the wedding and into their future as a married couple. This special approach to coaching is also suitable for couples at any stage of relationship from pre-commitment to post marriage.
In the past, religion and marriage went hand in hand, but times are changing. Today's couples have moved further away from organized religion. Interfaith marriage is increasingly common, and couples do not always consider religion to be the most essential component of their relationships. More often, love and shared interests form the bond between couples. Yet, having a spiritual dimension in your relationship, even if it is not through traditional religion, can create a strong foundation for marriage.
In our fast-paced society, it is easy to neglect things that don't feel like necessities. Often, maintaining a spiritual practice is one of the things that get pushed to the bottom of the priority list. Marriages struggle when individuals each enter the relationship with different expectations, without communicating them to one another. Instead of working together toward a common goal, they find themselves working as opponents, not teammates.
Working with couples over the past several years, we have discovered that those who have a spiritual base, nurture their dreams, and make a plan for their marriage experience greater satisfaction, joy and fulfillment throughout their lives together. They are more prepared to handle challenges and provide each other with increased love and mutual support.
Creationships Marriage Coaching for Couples is a unique approach to coaching.

Couples seem to really benefit from having a fresh perspective when dealing with their relational issues.
Our program assists you in bringing a dimension of spirituality and partnership to your marriage. By learning how to create an effective partnership early on in the marriage, you dramatically improve your chances of creating a winning team.
In a Creationships Marriage Coaching for Couples Session you will learn:
How is Creationships Marriage Coaching for Couples different from pre-marital counseling?
In pre-marital counseling you typically work with your clergy person or licensed therapist to discuss the personal issues in your relationship. Churches frequently require this to determine if getting married is the best idea for you. In Creationships Coaching for Couples the premise is that the two of you have already decided that marriage is the right step for your relationship, and you would like to learn skills to make it even more fulfilling. Creationships Coaching for Couples is a pre-designed session that will coach you through creating a solid and lasting spiritual foundation for your marriage, whatever your religious affiliation. All beliefs and traditions are honored.
How do we know if Creationships Marriage Coaching for Couples is right for us?
Couples frequently put so much emphasis on planning the perfect wedding that they forget they also need to take time to plan a great marriage. Just as your wedding day does not run smoothly without proper planning, neither does your marriage. Ups and downs are to be expected but if together you have a solid foundation you are better equipped to handle whatever challenges life may bring. A Creationships Marriage Coaching for Couples session helps you to establish a team approach to your marriage that creates the foundation of love, support, and faith that will carry you through your lives.
How many sessions do we need?
That is the best part, unlike pre-cana and other counseling courses that require as many as 15 sessions, Creationships Marriage Coaching for Couples as outlined above is designed as a one-time session. During this session you will learn all of the tools you need for the two of you to begin creating your T.E.A.M. Many couples also choose to add topic specific sessions based on their particular interests. If you choose me as your wedding officiant, it is easy to add this service to your planning meeting appointment. If you are already married or using another officiant you can simply schedule the approximate two hour appointment at a time convenient for you.

"My husband and I, after several years of marriage, had found ourselves caught up in the monotony and struggle of busy lives, leading to a frightening breach in trust. It seemed at the time that our marriage was in disrepair, until we met Laura. Through several coaching sessions with Laura, both individually and as a couple, we have learned to communicate effectively, appreciate much greater, and strengthen the love and trust between us. Laura has truly saved our marriage and we are so very thankful to have her healing wisdom in our lives." – D and M
"Laura is an amazing beacon of light, not only as a life coach, but as an intuitive person who truly understands your needs and goals. My fiancé and I saw Laura for marriage coaching and I also met with her one-on-one for life coaching sessions. I found both types of sessions to be helpful for different reasons. The marriage coaching helped us learn how to communicate better, but also to see what we truly value in each other instead of just focusing on what needs to be improved. On the flip side, life coaching helped me through a stressful time so I could get out of my current job with energy to spare. Laura's tools gave me the ability to push forward by seeing what gifts I already possessed and how I could use them with some tools and a lot of faith. I will go back to her any time I feel I need the need for that self-esteem boost again!" - Leslie E., Senior Marketing Manager
"Dear. Rev. Laura, I just wanted you to know that Chris and I finished your e-book, The Marriage Manifesto. All I can say is, THANK YOU SO MUCH. It really got us to take our minds off of the wedding day and helped us to look at our future married life together. And you were right, when we went through our writing the manifesto together it basically wrote our wedding vows for us! We are so glad to have found you and honored that you will be performing our ceremony. P.S. My sister-in-law is getting married next fall and I just told her to buy the book too!" -Casey W., Teacher
