Module 1 — Early Relationship History
Before you understand where you are today, you must understand where you began.
This module helps you revisit the early chapters of your relationship — the attraction, the connection, the milestones, and the emotional foundation you built together.
You’ll uncover the expectations, hopes, and early patterns that shaped your dynamic from the start.
Module 2 — Relationship Similarities
Shared values, interests, personality traits, and emotional needs often create the glue that holds partners together.
Here, you’ll explore the key similarities that have supported your connection and discover how these strengths continue to influence your relationship today.
Module 3 — Relationship Differences
Differences can be enriching — or deeply challenging.
In this module, you’ll identify where you and your partner diverge in communication style, lifestyle preferences, emotional needs, beliefs, expectations, and more.
Understanding these differences with clarity (rather than judgment) helps you evaluate whether they can be integrated or if they’ve become barriers.
Module 4 — Relationship Timeline of Major Events
Every couple has defining moments that shape the course of their relationship.
Here, you’ll map out your relationship’s most significant events — the highs, the lows, the transitions, and the turning points.
This timeline brings clarity to how your connection evolved and highlights the patterns you may not have noticed before.
Module 5 — Your Gripes About Your Partner and the Relationship
Every partner has unmet needs, frustrations, and recurring complaints.
This module helps you articulate your concerns clearly and honestly — without blame or emotional shutdown.
You’ll explore the pain points that have led to dissatisfaction and assess how they impact your desire to stay or leave.
Module 6 — Your Partner’s Gripes About You
In this module, you’ll shift perspective and explore the concerns your partner holds about your behavior and contribution to the relationship struggles.
This exercise fosters empathy, accountability, and a deeper understanding of each other’s emotional world.
Module 7 — Your Partner’s Gripes About the Relationship
Here, you’ll look at the concerns your partner has about the relationship as a whole — the dynamic, the patterns, the communication style, and the emotional climate.
Seeing the relationship through their eyes gives you a clearer, more balanced understanding of where things stand.
Module 8 — Discussion & Evaluation of the Relationship
This is the heart of the discernment process.
Using everything you’ve explored so far, you’ll engage in a structured, calm discussion about the state of your relationship.
You’ll evaluate your strengths, challenges, and patterns with clarity — giving both partners space to feel heard and understood.
Module 9 — Discernment: Coming to a Decision as a Couple
In this module, you’ll use guided frameworks to move toward a thoughtful decision.
Whether you choose to recommit and repair, continue exploring uncertainty, or begin a respectful separation, you’ll make this choice from a place of understanding rather than impulse or pressure.
Module 10 — Moving Forward
The final module supports you in stepping into the next chapter — together or separately.
You’ll learn how to create a path forward with emotional responsibility, healthy communication, and compassion.
This module ensures you don’t just reach a decision — you know how to act on it with clarity and support.

A few words from the people who’ve trusted me to guide them toward healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
I never believed I could trust again. After working with Gina Guddat I regained my confidence, and self-esteem. She helped me with my dating profile and coached me on finding a new life partner. I can now report that I’m happily remarried to a wonderful man!

Gina has been there for me through severe anxiety as I was leaving an abusive marriage. She has maintained professionalism while providing a warm and personable setting. I look forward to sessions with her, always gaining insight and knowledge.
Jess Langley
I came to Gina seeking clarity in my roles—daughter, mother, wife, student. Instead, I discovered the most vital one: my relationship with myself. Strengthening it became the foundation for my well-being and all other roles in my life.
Tina Johnson
With Gina’s help I am now able to express my feelings in a healthy way and receive much needed feedback from my wife. I would definitely recommend Ms. Guddat to any couple that needs help repairing their relationship.

My husband and I are in love again! After a therapeutic separation that Gina supervised, we were able to press the reset button and begin our relationship in a more loving and healthy way.
