WHERE YOUR JOURNEY BEGINS
Welcome to LifeWorks
Are you getting ready to say your, "I do's?!". First and foremost, CONGRATULATIONS! We couldn't be more excited for you. Secondly, we know you're making all of your plans for your wedding day, from invitations to announcements, but have you taken the time to do premarital counseling?
A study by Carlson and colleagues (2012) found that couples who participated in premarital counseling reported higher relationship satisfaction compared to 80% of couples who did not seek counseling.
Carlson and colleagues (2012) also found that engaging in premarital counseling is linked to reduced divorce rates, decreased relationship conflict, and enhanced overall relationship quality.
Statistics have shown up to a 30% higher marital success rate for couples who underwent counseling before their wedding than couples who chose not to.

Nine Areas of Focus for Your Relationship.
The Love.Commit.Succeed. (LCS) program is all about learning about your strengths, growth areas, and being able to create a game-plan for what you want to focus on in your relationship today, tomorrow, and for the rest of your life.
Each section in the program contains an introduction video covering the topic at hand so that you can start to think and reflect about your perspective and understanding for each section. The videos are engaging, informative, and approximately 15-20 minutes long.
The Love.Commit.Succeed. program sets you up for success with being able to talk about in-depth and important conversations. Each section leads you through important key points and take-aways, conversation topics, helps you bring up conversations that you may have avoided, not thought of, or would like to revisit so you can make sure you and your partner are on the same page.

Couples will often share that they appreciate the insightful and engaging questions that spark deeper conversations. Couples also share how many times conversations and topics that they have been afraid to bring up or haven't even thought about are conversation starters in the Couples workbook. They say they appreciate the questions engage them, and lead them in conversations to help them better understand each other, themselves, and what they want for the future.

I'M ZACH.
Most would describe me as a husband, father and relationship therapist. Over the past 15 years I've dedicated my career to helping 1000's of couples prepare for not only their wedding day, but every day after.
The picture you see above is my family. We are a blended family and my wife, Kate and I have been together for over 17 years and married for 15 years. Our marriage is fantastic. This is not to brag. It just is. But it's because from the very beginning of our relationship and marriage, that Kate and I set a standard and expectation for how we would do life together. How we would do marriage.
The premarital program, Love.Commit.Succeed. can give you the same building blocks that Kate and I have used throughout our relationship to only only thrive in the good times, but to be each other's rocks and consistent supports in the tough times. Life is going to throw everything at you: sickness, loss/grief, surprises, problems, achievements, disappointments, moments of anger, moments of joy, and the list will go on and on. By learning how to be each other's constant supports and best cheerleaders through the thick-and-thin, you can create an amazing life. But it takes work, it takes intention, an it takes a plan that you execute day in and day out so you know what you're aiming for and why.
"I feel you guys have opened my eyes a lot. Just a huge thank you! For all your advise for a successful marriage! You did an amazing job! Your snacks were great too!"

“Thank you for leading the class. I think it really amplifies what getting married means – it is not just a wedding and a fancy party. It’s a commitment to work as a team for the rest of your lives.”
