1-on-1 Relationship Coaching
Get on the same page with your partner
You love your partner and you know you’re a good match.
So why is it so hard to get along?
The smallest things blow up into arguments or passive aggressive nagging. Sometimes it feels like you can’t agree on anything.
It used to be easier; before work, in-laws, kids – life – got so busy.
Before you knew it, the person you always relied on became another thing to stress about.
How did it come to this???
The truth is that nobody teaches us how to be in a relationship.
We don’t learn how to disagree without fighting. Or how to be a team when life feels hard (which is almost always).
Schools don’t teach this stuff, and our parents did their best but they don’t have the answers.
It shouldn’t be this hard. You’re smart. You’ve picked up some tips. But everything you’ve learned flies out the window every time you get sucked into another argument.
So what are you supposed to DO to feel good about your relationship again?
Introducing 1-on-1 Relationship Coaching
Hi, my name is Matt Marquez and I’m excited to offer 1-on-1 Relationship Coaching for caring partners who want the skills to stop fighting and be a team again. This program includes six 90-minute sessions which includes:
One-on-one coaching (individuals only) with me via video call
A deep dive to understand WHY your partner is doing the things that drive you crazy
Step-by-step instructions and practice with skills that will transform your relationship
These coaching sessions aren't for everyone. They’re probably NOT what you need right now if any of these are true:
You’re fine with the way things are in your relationship
You don’t have the time or energy to make any changes right now
You don’t think your partner (or you) is capable of changing
I get it. Life is busy, and relationships are hard work. The skills I teach can change the trajectory of your relationship, but they’re not going to help people who don’t have the time and motivation to put in the work.
On the other hand, my coaching can offer MASSIVE benefits if any of these describe you:
You’re entering a major life change (new baby, moving, getting married, promotion at work, etc.) and you want to learn how to handle the new stress on your relationship
Small disagreements feel like a microcosm of bigger problems in your relationship and you’ve looked for solutions but nothing has clicked
You tiptoe around sharing your feelings because it makes your partner uncomfortable so you never get to talk about things that matter to you
These are difficult and painful places to be in a relationship, especially when you can remember how much easier life used to be with your partner.
Relationship skills make a big difference
When we’re stuck in our relationship, it might seem like there’s no going back to better days. But the right skills can reshape your relationship so you can do all of these things and more:
Face stressful situations as a team because you both know how to support each other
Stop getting automatically sucked into an argument when you or your partner is upset
Talk to your partner about family, money, etc. because you FINALLY have the tools to find real solutions together
I didn’t learn how to do these things from school or my parents. Like you, I didn’t know how to be in a relationship until my partner and I started learning about Nonviolent Communication or NVC.
NVC showed us how to understand and support each other in ways that truly matter. We learned relationship skills like self-acceptance and mindfulness practices (all the things we talk about in our podcast) that have helped us build the marriage of our dreams.
We’ve shared what we’ve learned with family and friends, and then eventually with clients, using our experience as a journalist and professor to find faster, better ways to teach these incredible relationship skills.
Feel good about your relationship again

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to be in a relationship to sign up for 1-on-1 Relationship Coaching?
Yes. You’ll get MUCH more out of these sessions in our experience if you’re currently in a romantic relationship.
Is 1-on-1 Relationship Coaching basically therapy?
No. The focus of these sessions is on learning and practicing relationship skills.
Do these relationship skills work if my partner doesn’t learn them too?
Absolutely. Some clients have seen unbelievable changes in their relationship without their partner having learned a single thing about these skills. It only takes one person to change a relationship because the skills we teach help you support and understand your partner so deeply that they are encouraged to support and understand you in the same way. It isn’t unusual for couples to eventually decide to continue learning these skills together – that’s what happened to Sunaina and me!
