About Us

In 2012, Tim went through a faith transition and left the LDS church, eventually becoming an atheist, while Laura remained a devoted Christian. What followed wasn’t a clean chapter break — it was years of conflict, defensiveness, and loneliness. We tried to change each other. We nearly walked away from our marriage more than once. On top of the faith crisis, we’d already been through the devastating loss of a child, and grief that pulled us in different directions. For a long time, we believed a marriage this divided simply couldn’t work.

The turning point wasn’t one of us finally “winning” the argument. It was both of us realizing that we were each contributing to the pain — and that the problem had never really been our different beliefs. It was how we treated each other across those differences. When we stopped listening to defend and started listening to understand, everything shifted. We learned practical, evidence-based skills that took our marriage from barely surviving to genuinely thriving — not by finding middle ground on faith, but by building on the shared values that had been there all along.

Today, we bring that same approach to the couples we work with. We’ve been trained as marriage coaches, and we teach the tools that saved our own relationship — tools for shortening conflict, creating emotional safety, parenting as a team, and navigating the pressures of family and community. We don’t take sides, and we’ll never ask either of you to change what you believe. Whether you’re the believing spouse who’s scared of losing your partner, or the transitioning spouse who feels alone and misunderstood, we’ve sat in both of those chairs.

Our marriage isn’t strong in spite of our differences — it’s strong because of what we’ve learned navigating them. We believe yours can be too.
