Already in a great relationship and want to make sure it lasts into the future? Beyond Happily Ever After is for couples who understand that the real “work” to maintain and futureproof a great relationship starts at the beginning when it’s at its best. The book will blend communication tools, lived experience, and creative experiments to keep the good going, and show you how to propel the great forward so it gets even better. Don’t just “hope” your love lasts … make sure it does by building a relationship that can survive real life.
Book Contents
The book weaves together real stories, practical tools, and unexpected ways to make sure people stay connected over time. It draws on my work in ceremonies, training rooms, and relationship coaching, as well as a life lived across countries, careers, and impossible constraints.
Book Ideas
The ideas behind Beyond Happily Ever After are practical and a little unconventional. They borrow from communication theory, creative problem-solving, and everyday human messiness—things like how people argue, avoid, repair, improvise, and adapt when plans fall apart. The emphasis is on skills you can practice, not ideals you can fail.
Coming Soon
This page will grow alongside the book. Over time, it will hold articles, exercises, and interactive material for couples and individuals who want to keep experimenting with how they communicate and connect. Eventually, it will also become home to a small membership space for people who want to know more.
If you’re an agent or publisher curious about the project, or a couple interested in trying out some of the initial activities, I’m happy to share more.
