For Marriages With Some Miles On Them
Marriage Coaching in McKinney, Texas
McKinney is the Collin County seat — historic neighborhoods around the old downtown square alongside brand-new subdivisions out west. Its marriages are just as varied. We coach McKinney couples at every stage, and we have a particular heart for long marriages that have gone quiet and for remarried couples blending two families.
When a Long Marriage Goes Quiet
Some of the couples we coach have been married fifteen, twenty-five, thirty-five years. Nothing dramatic happened. The children grew up, careers peaked, and one evening they realized they had become comfortable strangers. That season is more common than people admit and far more fixable than it feels. The skills that rebuild closeness — curiosity, honest conversation, shared purpose, praying together again — can be learned at any age.
Blended Families and Second Marriages
Dick and Barb have been a blended family since 1988, so step-family coaching is not theory for us. Remarried couples face pressures first marriages do not: children with divided loyalties, ex-spouses still in the picture, money flowing in several directions, and the fear of failing a second time. We help couples put the marriage at the center of the new family without asking anyone to erase their history.

Frequently Asked Questions
- We have been married over 25 years. Is it too late for coaching?
- No. Long marriages have something new couples do not: a shared history worth protecting. Couples decades into marriage can make real progress quickly, because they are motivated and know exactly what they want back.
- Do you coach blended families in McKinney?
- Yes — it is one of our specialties. We have lived in a blended family since 1988 and coach step-family and second-marriage couples at every stage, from engagement to adult step-children and grandchildren.
- Where do we meet in McKinney?
- At a private location arranged at the start of the engagement, or by video. Many couples do a mix of both.
- Is marriage coaching the same as counseling?
- Not quite. Coaching teaches skills and builds forward habits; therapy treats clinical issues such as depression or trauma. If we think a licensed therapist would serve you better, we will tell you.
