Who this is for
Engaged couples
The date is set and you want to prepare for the marriage, not only for the day.
Couples getting serious
You are talking about a future and want to know you are building it well.
Couples marrying again
One or both of you has been married before, and you want this beginning to be different.
Three steps, one honest direction
Where you are
A conversation about your story so far and what each of you expects from marriage.
The right pace
Dr. Jim Talley wrote Too Close, Too Soon about this: moving too fast keeps couples from building anything that holds.
The hard conversations
Faith, family, money, conflict and boundaries, talked through before they become arguments.
With you from the first call.
- What is said here stays hereWe do not share what is said in a session with anyone.
- There is help paying for coachingWhen money is the reason someone never calls, another family can cover part of the cost. Ask us about sponsored coaching.
- In person or from homeMost sessions happen by phone or video. In-person sessions are available in Shawnee, Oklahoma.
We are coaches, not licensed counselors or therapists. We do not diagnose and we do not treat mental health conditions. If licensed care is what you need, we will say so plainly and help you find it.
Waymark Inc. continues the work of Dr. Jim Talley (1942–2025), who spent more than fifty years sitting with couples at the worst moment of their marriage and telling them the truth: that the way back exists, and that it is walked one honest step at a time.
Questions people ask first
When should we start?
As early as you are both willing. Couples who start before the engagement have more room to act on what they learn.
Does this replace our church's premarital class?
It can stand alone or go alongside it. Tell us what your pastor requires and we will work with it.
Can we do it if we live in different cities?
Yes. Sessions are by phone or video, so each of you can join from where you are.
There is a way back. Let us help you find it.
Start with one conversation, with no obligation. Tell us where you are and we will help you find the next marker on the road.
