OurRelationship

Couples who choose the OurRelationship coaching option are more likely to complete the program. Their online activities are reinforced with phone or video calls with a coach. This option:

• Includes five weekly 20-minute calls with a coach who helps you tailor the online program and activities to meet your needs.
• Can be completed on your schedule, days, evenings or weekends.
• Allows participants to select their coach. They can learn about the coaches by browsing the OurRelationship website. Some coaches have a military background.

Couples who choose the self-guided option complete the online activities without outside support. The self-guided option:

• Is good for highly motivated couples.
• Can be done at a couple’s own pace.
• Encourages structured conversations and includes tasks to complete outside of the reading material and video content.
• Includes feedback tailored to the couple’s responses.

Both the self-guided and coaching options take four to six weeks to complete. The program requires a lot of reading and access to technology, including internet.

The OurRelationship program is most helpful for couples who:

• Are highly motivated and want to improve their relationship on their own.
• Have only a few areas in their relationship they would like to improve.
• Want to give their relationship a boost in a shorter time frame.
• Want a little additional support without the full commitment of working with a relationship therapist or counselor.
• May not feel comfortable with another person helping them strengthen their relationship.
• Need the flexibility of completing the program either separate from each other or outside of standard business hours due to temporary duty assignments, deployments and other realities of military life.
