We have identified 7 steps for attracting your true love! Step number one is to prepare yourself for love. It is imperative to know yourself and identify your readiness issues in order to attract love. Ask yourself the tough questions such as what is it about myself that I would like to change? Am I carrying around baggage that will prevent me from having the relationship that I want? Do I have issues surrounding my self esteem that need to be addressed? Do I have opportunities for growth in the areas of finances, health and fitness, spirituality, etc.?
Once you have done this self analysis, develop a self-improvement plan and decide to become the best you that you can be. Many relationships fail because we try to change our partners into the man or woman we want them to be when in reality the only person we can change is ourselves. Once you have worked on your self and truly love yourself you will be rady to receive love from others and will attract the type of partner that you desire!

Traits of a Purposeful Man
There are five traits of a purposeful man: Confidence; Ability to Plan; A sense of faith; Action-oriented and Reflective. If you are a female, we challenge you to add measure how your husband or potential mate stacks up against this list. If you are a man the challenge is to simple see if you have room for improvement.
Confidence is defined as a state of mind or a manner marked by easy coolness and freedom from uncertainty, diffidence, or embarrassment; Stresses faith in oneself and one's powers without any suggestion of conceit or arrogance. Confidence is a trait that can be learned.
Everyman purposeful man has a plan. A plan for his life, family career, self-development / growth. A man without a plan is a man who plans to fail!
Faith is critical and it comes in different stages - the ability to believe in a God
the ability to belief in oneself and the ability to believe in what has not yet materialized. Hebrews 11:1-Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Action Oriented - James 2:14-26-Faith without works is Dead. This comes down to the law of cause and effect. Whatever you send into the Universe comes back. For every actin there is an equal and opposite reaction. What’s coming back at you? What do your actions say about you? Where are you relative to your plan?
Reflective - A purposeful man realizes that every situation is a learning opportunity. What you need to know about the past is that no matter what has happened, it has all worked together to bring you to this very moment. And this is the moment you can choose to make everything new. Right now! Those who do not learn from their past are doomed to repeat it.
The following peom "The Test of a Man" sums up our thoughts of what it means to be a man.
The Test of A Man
The Test of a man is the fight that he makes. The Grit that he daily shows. The way he stands upon his feet. And takes lifes numerous bumps and blows.
A coward can smile When there's not to fear. A noting his progress bars. But it takes a man to stand and cheer. While the other fellow stars. It isn't the victory after all. But the fight that a brother makes. A man, when driven against the wall, Still takes the blows of fate.
With his head held high. Bleeding, bruised, and pale, Is the man who will win fate defied. For he isn't afraid to fail!

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it"...enhance it! The case for relationship coaching
The old adage , "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" is great advice. In making the case for relationship coaching, we say if it ain't broke, don't fix it, ENHANCE it! In many instances, if and when couples seek help for marital problems, it is often times too late. They have let the problems fester and supressed their feelings to the point of no return. Or even worse, one of the people in the couple refuses to fully engage in therapy for a number of reasons and the damage is already done. This is the reason we have choen to engage in the field of relationship coaching.
Relationship coaching is a client-focused service where individuals or couples are assumed to be healthy and able to achieve their relationship goals with the proper support, information and guidance. According to a model by Hayden and Whitworth, there are very contrasting differences between therapy and coaching. Therapy assumes the client needs healing, coaching assumes the client is whole; Therapy focuses on feelings and past events, coaching focuses on actions and the future; Therapy explores the root of problems, coaching focuses on solving problems; therapy works for internal resolution of pain and to let go of old patterns, coaching works for external solutions to overcome barriers, learn new skills and implement effective choices.
So whether you are a single looking for your soul mate or a healthy couple looking to enhance your relationship, contact us at strongrelationships@gmail.com

Two sides to Every Story
In counseling with a friend about her relationship, it became really clear why communication is ALWAYS cited as one of the most important characteristics of a relationship. We know through our research that communciation is just one of the important stages or aspects of a relationship, but it is a critical one. We believe that you cannot have effective communication if you have not yet developed a certain level of trust. In order to open up and be 100% honest with you, I must first be able to trust that you will not have an adverse reaction to the feelings that I am sharing. Even once you have gotten to the point of truly communicating there is and will always be two sides to every story. You will interpet something; a touch, a look, a word, even silence one way and someone else experiencing the EXACT same thing will view it a totally different way. The difference is a fact of life - just as certain as the sun rising in the East and setting in the West. But, it is also what makes us unique and makes relationships interesting. The trick is to see past the different interpretations and get to a place of true, unfiltered communication - it is one of the best tools that you have!
