For millennial women who want to go from stressed and insecure to confident and connected in their marriage.

 
 

Is this you?

You know, deep down, he’s a great guy. It was easy to call him “The One”.

But things haven’t been feeling so awesome lately.

In fact…you hate to admit it, but you’ve even thought about the D word. Those pestering thoughts won’t seem to leave your mind.

Maybe he just isn’t who I thought he was. Maybe I’d be better off with someone else…or alone.

Ouch. That’s hard to admit.

You don’t get why he can’t seem to show up for you in the ways you need the most.

You both said for better and for worse, but feel like he’s left you hanging at the point of no return.

You’ve tried asking him to work on things. You’ve tried explaining. You’ve even had those less-than-sexy emotional outbursts, wondering if THAT would be the way to get him to wake up and finally hear you.

Is this “just how guys are?”

I’m willing to bet something about you, and your marriage.

There’s a strong chance you never had a safe space to learn how to REALLY have a thriving marriage with your man. Surrounded by other women who understand what you’re feeling and needing.

I believe this to be true for many women, because I’ve heard it from clients time and time again. I also had a lot of my own insecurities about marriage, even with a great partner.

“He’s just not emotional…he doesn’t do feelings.”

“I’m just too needy.”

“This is just how guys are. Right…?”

“If this were right, it would feel easy.”

(^ Incredibly common statements I’ve heard from MANY women over the years.)

These thoughts and feelings start to isolate us deeply inside of ourselves, away from support, understanding, and intimacy.

Here’s a truth bomb:

We can be with a great partner and have great chemistry, similar values, and even great communication. 

But things can still start going to sh*t. 

So imagine how people feel when the chemistry settles, those big life decisions start coming up, and your communication turns into heated interactions over, and over, and over.

The differences that men and women have been taught and conditioned to believe about themselves, intimate relationships, and committed love are vast. Our generation is finally waking up to the fact that we are often not even speaking the same language in our relationships. 

We know what we want, but have no roadmap to get there. 

ENTER: a group for millennial women just like you, trying to go from stressed and insecure to confident and connected in their marriage.

This group will give you the support, understanding, and empowerment you’ve been searching for so that you can be a part of creating the changes you want to experience in your relationship, while being part of a community of other women striving for similar healthy goals.

Friends are great, but they can quickly take a bias against your partner if it means protecting you. This is NOT pro-relationship behavior. It’s pushing the narrative of “I come first”, and it could contribute to more issues than actually being helpful.

If you’re a married woman who is reading this and feeling like I’m talking straight to you, please reach out. This group has been formed for YOU. And there are women out there, just like you, who are hoping for some help to get their happiness, and their marriages, back on track.

 
 
Liz Higgins, LMFT

I’m Liz, the founder of MLC and facilitator of the Marriage Life group for women.

I’m excited to bring this supportive community of women together. Through our pain and frustration, we can sometimes lose compassion. This is why I believe that working alongside other women who can cheer you on, give you healthy and effective support, and LISTEN when you most need it, will improve your chances of creating the kinds of change you want to experience in your relationship.

 

We’d love to have you join.

Questions?

Here are some helpful deets:

+ What's the cost of this group?

$90 for 1.5 hour meeting length. Group is a great way to get more bang for your buck, and can be a great supplement if you're in couples therapy with your partner right now.

+ Where does this group meet?

In consideration of COVID19 and wanting to provide a convenient meeting platform for this group, we will meet virtually through a HIPAA compliant platform.

+ Is this group just for married women?

Marriage is its own kind of commitment with unique factors and experiences to consider, so we are keeping this group small for married individuals. Psychoeducational content will be provided in the context of a committed couple relationship. We will have additional relationship groups starting in the coming months, so stay in touch!

+ How many people are in this group?

This group will be a max of 8 people. This group is also "closed", meaning that the women who start in this group will be the only participants the whole time. This will help you build community and hopefully ensure accountability of our group participants.

+ What if I can't attend every time?

Group therapy is a really special process. If you're unable to meet weekly at the designated group time, it may not be the best time to make the commitment. There are no makeup groups, and, while we totally understand that emergencies happen, the hope is that all participants will show up and attend each meeting time.

+ When does group begin/meet?

Liz will be facilitating the Marriage Life group Saturdays at 9:00am (beginning February 6th). Sessions are 1.5 hours long.

+ What will we be talking about?

This group is a blend of relational education and open processing. In regular words, Liz will take time at each group meeting to provide relevant information and actionable tools that you can implement into your marriage. But, having time to process and support each other openly is just as important, so we will have ample time to do this at every group.
