Curiosity. Alternatives. Hope.
Imagine reviving those in your relationship.

Have the roles you and your partner play become stuck over time?
Do your ways of relating no longer help you move together through painful situations?

Relationship Coaching will encourage you and your partner to be curious, will guide you to explore alternatives for change, and will offer you hope and optimism to discover a more loving connection.

Encouraging curiosity. Coaching will open up new conversations about your relationship dynamics and patterns, by asking questions and learning to see each other with new eyes.

Exploring alternatives. Coaching will guide you to find different ways to relate, to uncover new interpretations of events, to interact so that you hear each other more clearly and can explore change together.

Offering hope. Coaching will inspire you to see that you have untapped possibilities for closeness, communication, shared dreams, and a sense of well-being as a couple.

Curiosity. Alternatives. Hope.

Let’s get started making big changes in your relationship.

I am a Relationship and Life Coach and I will help you to reach your dreams in this new year.

I believe that tangible and powerful change is possible for you as an individual or in your relationship, whenever you are ready to take the first step.

I will guide you to clarify your goals, to recognize your strengths, and to identify what is holding you back from attaining the future you genuinely want.

You may be nervous even to take the first step.
What if it’s too overwhelming to open up the challenges in your relationship?
What if you don’t succeed, what if change is too risky?

As a coach, I will support you to create and reach a new vision for your life or your relationship in 5785.

I integrate my training in couples therapy and life coaching to offer you a uniquely warm and effective process.

A new year calls us to dream and explore, to question, to be curious about our direction.
A new year offers us an opportunity to focus on who we can be, rather than feel stuck waiting for things outside of us to change.

I believe that change is always possible.

When you light the Hanuka candles, let their glow inspire you to bring light and warmth into your relationship.

This season you may be feeling distance in your relationship.
Physical distance if the war has separated you, the stubborn distance of holding different perspectives, emotional distance caused by stress.

Staying close is more important now than ever.
You are each other’s support and anchor.
Your relationship is the anchor for your family’s well-being.

Here are 8 ideas for 8 candles.
8 ways to stay close to the person you love.

1 - Share with each other as often as possible about what’s happening and how you’re feeling. Even a few minutes, even one emotion. Listen and be fully present for each other.
2 - Find new ways to make each other smile, keep up the lighter side of your relationship.
3 - Say thank you, acknowledge what the other is doing for you and your family.
4 - See your partner with new eyes - appreciate that you are both going through something you’ve never experienced before.
5 - Express your love and create intimacy with words and touch.
6 - Don’t let resentment build - apologize soon and take responsibility for any pain you may have caused.
7 - Be the ‘shamash’ and help your partner shine more brightly. Encourage their ideas and celebrate reaching even the tiniest goal.
8 - Keep dreaming - your future will have light and fun - dream of small miracles and big plans.

If the tension of these months has made you feel distant or disconnected from your partner, and you want to start to think about how to get your relationship back to a closer place, schedule a call with me >> https://judymarkose.com/schedule/

I help couples to find new ways to communicate, reconnect, and rediscover closeness and love.

Happy Hanukkah!

Be gentle with one another now.
Each of you is extra sensitive.
Both of you need tenderness.

Be positive.
Each of you is holding anger and fear.
Both of you need optimism.

Find compassion for the person you love and share a life with.
Try to keep judgment and blame out of your home.

Listening, hugging, benefit of the doubt, kindness.
These are the languages of connection your relationship needs now.

If the tension of these weeks has made you feel distant or disconnected from your partner, and you want a safe place to share those feelings – I’ll listen and support you without judgment.

I help couples to find new ways to communicate, reconnect, and discover closeness and love in difficult situations.

Your relationship with your partner may be challenged now in ways you’ve never experienced.

It’s not the 24/7 of Corona, learning to live and work side by side.
It’s something new.

Maybe it feels like it’s all falling on you.
Home, kids, work, well-meaning family and neighbors.

Maybe one of you is reacting with one type of emotion and the other has a completely different response.

It’s not the division of labor you’re so proud of – the shared perspectives, the partnership.
It’s something new.

You want to complain – that doesn’t feel right.
You need empathy – but others have it so much worse.

What you’ve invested in your relationship will carry you through this crisis.
You will return to a shared life together in happier times.

Meanwhile, it’s ok to feel whatever you’re feeling.
If you want a safe place to share those feelings – I’ll be happy to listen without judgment.

I help couples to find new ways to communicate, reconnect, and discover closeness and love in difficult situations.

In your temporary one-week Sukkah ‘home’ – how about taking a few minutes to reflect on the kind of home you want to create this year.

Does the space you share with the people you love support your closeness and caring as a couple or a family?

Consider these questions with your partner:

✨What does “home” mean to you?
✨How do you want to feel in our home?
✨What are some new relationship or family rituals we could bring into our home?
✨How can we make our home environment more positive or peaceful?
✨Do you have a special place where you feel happiest? How can we bring elements or the energy of that place into our home?

As you reflect and share your responses, you can gradually create a renewed vision for your home for this new year. A home in which you both feel happy, comfortable, and nurtured.

If you’d like to renew your vision for the new year as a couple, consider a few sessions of Relationship Coaching to inspire and support your process.

Happy Sukkot!

Do you believe your marriage would benefit from some kind of couples counseling, but your partner is skeptical?

Take a step and invite your partner to a conversation and prepare to explore in a curious way why they may be hesitant. Ask your partner when a good time would be to talk about couples counseling.

Take a look at the questions below to help you get the conversation started.

‘I feel it would really help us to go to a professional. I’d like to understand more about how you feel.’
🔹Do you believe things are fine in our relationship?
🔹Do you feel that our relationship issues are too personal to share with an outsider?
🔹Do you believe that counseling is not a good use of our time or money?
🔹Do you worry about the stigma or shame of being one of those ‘couples who go to counseling’?
🔹Are you afraid of being blamed for the dynamics in our relationship?
🔹Do you have other ideas about how to invest in our relationship?

Try and listen openly to your partner’s responses, without disagreeing or judging.

You’ve just had a taste of communication tools that you might explore in Relationship Coaching.

Over a few months of Coaching, couples learn (or re-learn) how to create a more comfortable and open relationship space, how to listen with compassion and empathy, and how to engage with conflict and difficult topics with less fear. Coaching helps couples to see their particular patterns more clearly and ask questions that open up new paths of connection.

If your partner is open to it – or if you’d like to speak with me alone - consider scheduling a conversation about Relationship Coaching. It’s 30 minutes with no commitment to continue.

Encouraging curiosity. Coaching will open up conversations about your relationship dynamics that you’ve never had before, asking questions and exploring new paths for how you see your relationship and behave within it.

Exploring alternatives. Coaching will guide you to seek alternative ways for each of you to be in the relationship, to uncover new interpretations of events, to see different ways to relate to one another and to interact so that you hear each other more clearly, and so that you can explore change together.

Offering hope. Coaching will inspire you to see that you as a couple have untapped possibilities for closeness, communication, harmony, and a sense of well-being. You’ll learn tools that will be used to make significant changes in your relationship and to increase your ability to give to one another.

Create a confident, intentional life and a close, loving relationship.

You want your life to be better, you want to achieve more, you want to feel happier.
You’re ready to start creating the life you want.

You’re interested in working with a Life Coach, but you’re not sure how to choose the right one for you.

I recommend that you speak with a couple of coaches and consider these questions:

🔸Do you sense a warm connection and feel that the coach will be supportive and compassionate?

🔸Will the coach help you to get clear about your goals - including what you want to change about yourself, how you hope to grow, and what your direction will be in the months or years ahead?

🔸Does the approach of the coach feel empowering and relevant for you? What kinds of tasks and tools does the coach integrate – do they suit your personal style?

Have you noticed that you and your partner spend very little time together?
Everything else (job, kids, health) has become more important.

In order to make your relationship important, create your relationship every day.

Make time to find the connection that inspired you to choose each other.

Create your relationship every day.

How?
🔸You could wake up a little early and have a cup of coffee together before the day begins.
🔸Stop for a hug when you’re coming and going.
🔸Set aside some time at the end of the day to check in and unwind together.
🔸Notice what your partner does at home and say thanks.
🔸Dream and plan a vacation.
🔸Take a walk together.

Look for what feels easy to implement and do that right away.
Next week you can add more.

If you feel stuck or overwhelmed trying to get back on track as a couple, you’re not alone. Many couples reach out for help and support.

As a Relationship Coach, I’ll offer you a clear framework to recreate your connection, a safe space to talk and really listen, and a path to becoming closer and more loving.

Relationship Coaching will help you to practice new ways to communicate in your significant relationships.

Anticipating Pesach and family dynamics, for example.
Will this year be different from all other years?

In the past, a lot of the planning and doing has fallen on you.
Would you say something about how that makes you feel?
When the family gets together you want it to be nice.
Why raise negative issues?
You usually like to keep it smooth and easygoing.
Keep it all inside.

Consider a different path.
Consider being truer to yourself, expressing even a small part of how you feel.
Maybe it could be different this year.

In Relationship Coaching, we look at how you contribute to the patterns in your significant relationships.
We explore the roles you play in your relationships and where those roles no longer serve you.
We practice new ways for you to communicate and express your genuine feelings.
