Marriage Essentials Mission
At Marriage Essentials, we help business owners and creatives build marriages as strong as their companies.
Success shouldn’t come at the cost of connection—and you don’t need therapy to fix it.
You need a framework.
Our Connection Framework gives you the tools to lead with emotional clarity, repair after conflict, and build something strong—one conversation at a time.
Work With MeLet Me Show You the Road Back to Each Other
I’m Brett Nikula! Marriage coach, licensed therapist, and 7-figure business owner.
I help business owners and growth-minded individuals lead well at home, not just in their work.
Early on, I built a thriving company, but felt stuck in my marriage. I cared deeply, but we were disconnected. That’s when I found the framework that changed everything. Now, I help others do the same using practical tools, honest stories, and support that meets you where you are—not where you’re “supposed” to be.
What People Are Saying
I’m Brett—a marriage coach, licensed therapist, and 7-figure entrepreneur.
I help people build marriages that feel safe, connected, and strong — without losing their drive or success at work.
For years, I was scaling businesses…but at home, things felt fragile.
Kelsey and I loved each other deeply, but we kept getting pulled into the same painful cycle. And no matter how hard I tried to “fix” things, nothing actually changed.
The pressure from the business followed me home. The tension at home followed me back into my work. And I couldn’t understand why I could solve massive problems at work—but not the one that mattered most.
Everything changed when I discovered the framework healthy, connected marriages use.
It gave us a clear way to repair, reconnect, and rebuild safety fast. Our marriage softened.
Our home felt lighter. And for the first time, both parts of my life began working with each other instead of against each other.
Now I teach that same framework to business owners who want the marriage they’ve always envisioned—not a perfect marriage, but a connected one.
Practical tools. Simple principles. Support that meets you exactly where you are.
