…he unearthed for us the heart of our concerns and with some later coaching helped us resolve them.

We came to Dr. Jim when we started experiencing a noticeable distance between us that never used to be there.  We didn’t know how badly we needed to reconnect until we found Jim’s program. We had heard good things about the Powerful Partnerships weekend course and were surprised to find out how interesting and enjoyable it was.

He provided everyday tips on how to be more loving toward one another, in small tangible ways.  Plus, he offered us a road map that has helped us build more intimacy and a tighter bond with each other.

Regarding the areas where we felt stuck, Jim has an uncanny way of untangling marriage/partnership issues. Over that weekend, he
unearthed for us the heart of our concerns and with some later coaching helped us resolve them.

He gave us tools to help us express being upset or disappointed with each other in a way that doesn’t produce defensiveness but instead, leaves room for understanding, healing and growth.  I no longer carry around resentments and hurts and feel freer to focus on what I love about my partner and my life.  I am so glad we found Dr. Jim when we did and I recommend Powerful Partnerships  to any couple who wants to increase the level of intimacy and trust they feel for one another.

We were very grateful to have met Dr. Jim Goldstein when we did.

For years, my partner and I had what I thought was a pretty great relationship with very few disagreements.  We had one incident, however, which was so upsetting that it might have torn us apart.  The problem was we really had no way to address it without things deteriorating.  Each attempt at resolution tended to pull us farther apart.

We were very grateful to have met Dr. Jim Goldstein when we did.  We invited him to come to Miami and it was great to have him present the Powerful Partnerships® course in our own home over a Friday night and Saturday.  He showed us how we could express ourselves  without either of us getting defensive or hurt and it really helped.  In addition, as we tried out what we had learned over the next few weeks, it was very valuable to have him coach us on how to apply these principles to our day to day lives.  He was able to tune in to exactly what our issues were and how we could resolve them.

Since those coaching sessions, things have been much better.  Minor little glitches are now resolved with no lingering residue of hurt feelings or resentment and we find ourselves spending most of our time on the same team and feeling great about each other.  My partner and I are very happy we took the Powerful Partnerships Private Weekend Course and find ourselves using what we’ve learned as a natural part of how we relate to each other.

The Powerful Partnerships course was very practical and made a lot of sense.

My partner and I had heard of the great results Dr. Jim Goldstein had produced with a good friend of mine and her husband.  On her recommendation, we invited Dr. Jim down to Florida to work with us for the weekend.  My partner was pretty skeptical at first but all of that disappeared within a few minutes of talking to Jim.

The Powerful Partnerships®  course was very practical and made a lot of sense.  The greatest value, however, came from Jim’s ability to really understand our particular situation and coach us in applying the principles of Powerful Partnerships®  to our unique issues.

While we aren’t in perfect harmony all the time, I have a much better handle on what to do and say to keep us on the same team and how to get back together when things start to feel strained.  We have both grown from this work and have a greater appreciation for each other’s sensitivities and boundaries. I am grateful for the understanding I now have and for the coaching we’ve gotten.

I’d recommend the Powerful Partnerships Weekend Couples Course to anyone who wants a better relationship.
