Marriages don't get saved.

People heal.

If you've found our site, you've probably tried everything to 'save your marriage': marriage counseling, couples therapy, workshops and retreats, mindset shifts and language tactics, but nothing seems to stick. And actually, everything in your partnership is falling apart and seemingly getting much worse. If this is you, you're in the right place.

What you may not realize is that neither you nor your spouse is broken, messed up, or flawed. You both are carrying your own history of unprocessed, unhealed, childhood trauma that has pulled you away from who you were created to become.

That wounding has you living off-balance, misaligned, and functioning from a highly adapted state of survival mode.

And here’s the truth: these wounds were present within you long before the two of you ever met.

Unless identified and addressed, these patterns will continue to recirculate within your body and nervous system and present as physical and emotional triggers wreaking havoc in your relationship and in your life.

These triggers then collide with your spouse’s triggers and the result is an ongoing trauma bond that feels impossible to fix.

This is what we call The Inverted Marriage Dynamic™

The

INVERTED MARRIAGE DYNAMIC™

looks like this:

SIGNS A MAN IS IN HIS

WOUNDED FEMININE ENERGY:

x Passive

x Appeasing

x Indecisive

x Dependent on Others

x Easily Influenced

x Desperate for Validation

x Complains without Action

x Without Purpose or Discipline

This is what we call the "Nice Guy". This man goes along to get along. He tries his best, but it doesn't ever seem to matter because it is never right or good enough, so he tends to just withdraw and give up. This man struggles with rejection and is riddled with indecision. He feels like he's walking on eggshells and tends to stay out of the way to keep the peace. He's either apathetic and super chill, or he explodes with rage; there's no in between. This man wants to be a better man. He wants to step up and feel strong, powerful, and protective, but he doesn't know how.

SIGNS A WOMAN IS IN HER

WOUNDED MASCULINE ENERGY:

x Controlling

x Combative

x Critical

x Emotionally Unavailable

x Overly Competitive

x Defensive

x Demanding

x Hyper-Independent

This is what call the "Boss Babe". This woman spends her days in a tsunami of adrenaline and anxiety. Her mind constantly races with checklists and to-do's and while it may look like she's got it all together on the outside, she is crumbling on the inside. She's hardened, emotionless, and keeps people at a distance. She doesn't ask for help as to not be seen as needy or weak, and because she was raised to be a strong independent woman. Deep down she just wants to relax and live a life of peace. She needs and craves the support of her masculine partner, but doesn't know how to let him lead and trust that he's got her.

These wounded dynamics are exactly what’s keeping you disconnected from your spouse and trapped in an inverted marriage. But the great news is – you're not trapped and this can be healed. And it starts when you make the choice to commit to your own individual healing.
