The Discipline
Every profession begins as a set of ideas that someone takes the trouble to define precisely. This category holds the defining essays of Relationship Readiness coaching: what the discipline is, where its boundaries lie, and what it means to practise a craft whose central rule is that the coach reflects and the couple decides. If you are meeting the category for the first time, start here.
Definition
Relationship Readiness Coaching
Relationship Readiness coaching is the structured, forward-looking professional practice of guiding committed couples through the design of their shared life — family, money, roles, daily rhythm, and the way two people find their way back to each other after difficulty — through a reflective method in which the coach reflects and the couple decides. It is distinct from therapy (clinical, backward-looking), counselling (directive, problem-solving), matchmaking, and any assessment of whether two people match: no verdict on a couple is ever issued, and authority never leaves the couple.
