You solve complex problems all day.
You've built a business.
You make decisions that affect livelihoods.

So why does the same conflict keep repeating at home?

It's not because you're failing. It's because you're stuck in a cycle — a predictable pattern running underneath every argument.

 

In This Live Workshop, You'll Discover:

âś“ Why the same conflict keeps repeating (it's not about the topic)

âś“ The cycle that's actually driving the tension

âś“ What healthy couples do differently to repair, reassure, and reconnect

✓ The Connection Framework — a clear roadmap from conflict to closeness

 

👉 Once you see this pattern, you can't unsee it — and everything begins to change.

 

"I finally understood what was happening. This framework gave us clarity therapy never could." — Sarah M, Entrepreneur

Healthy, connected marriages with happy, successful people.

I'm Brett — licensed marriage therapist, relationship coach, and 7-figure entrepreneur.

Married 13 years to my high school sweetheart, Kelsey. We have 8 kids and a full, chaotic life.

 

Years ago, I was growing businesses — but our marriage kept falling into the same painful cycle.

I could solve problems at work, but at home... nothing I tried seemed to change anything.

 

That's when I discovered the one thing that changes everything:

Healthy marriages know how to navigate through conflict in a way that allows them to repair, reassure, and reconnect.

Struggling marriages don't.

 

Once we learned how to navigate through conflict with a step-by-step process I call the Connection Framework, everything shifted.

The tension eased.
Our connection deepened.
And for the first time, we had a clear direction for how to grow our marriage instead of just surviving it.

 

The Results

Since then, I've personally taught this framework 1-on-1 to nearly 2,500 people in my relationship coaching business Marriage Essentials. 

My therapy practice Solace Counseling Associates now completes over 1,200 one-hour sessions every month, teaching clients these same principles.

It works in chaos. It works under pressure. And it works whether one or both people are doing it.

 

That's what I teach now — a simple, repeatable way to move from conflict to connection, and build a marriage that actually supports the life you're working so hard to create.

What Other Couples Are Saying

Course Participant

"Brett’s course helped us go from constant frustration to finally feeling heard and connected again. I had no idea how much our cycle was keeping us from reconnecting."

1:1 Client

"I started working with Brett after months of feeling stuck. Every session gave us deeper insight and tools that actually worked. We’re finally able to talk without spiraling."

1:1 Client

"I couldn’t figure out why we kept ending up in the same argument. Brett helped us break the cycle, and our connection has totally shifted. We’re closer than we’ve been in years."

"So many couples do love each other. They really care for each other. They just haven't learned the skills to find each other when confusion hits. To repair when hurt occurs. To reassure when worry sets in. The good news is that this is a SKILL they can learn."
