Dear Bruce,
First let me say how much this program has been saving our marriage.
After almost 13 years together we were finding ourselves stuck in the Power Struggle stage. (The exact description you used in the Instagram reel where I saw your program come across my feed. The reel that made me stop in my tracks and say, Holy Crap!! That’s US!) I felt it in my heart how much your words resonated with me in that reel.
I chose to attend your mastermind class, and after that, I KNEW that I had to delicately approach my partner with ONE MORE THING to try. And oh, how we have tried ALL. THE. THINGS!!!! I shared with him what I learned and even signed up AGAIN, so he could watch it.
And to my surprise, he agreed!
During the first 5 years of our marriage, we reveled in the blissful Romance Stage where we co-owned and operated a thriving landscape maintenance business where we worked happily side-by-side and were together 24/7! I ask you, how many married couples can DO THAT, and STILL remain married? Apparently, we thrived on it. Then after deciding 30 years in the landscape business was enough, (and so our aging bodies were telling us) we retired from that work and Brad moved on to a different, mid-life career path that slammed us both into a more traditional (and separate) employment role, where we only saw each other in the evenings and on weekends.
This was A HUGE and significant change in the dynamic of our life together. A challenge that was becoming increasingly difficult to navigate, even after 6 years of trying to adjust we found ourselves smack dab in the middle of your Power Struggle Stage. And the last 2 years especially, had been slowly and increasingly intensifying to the point where we were beginning to question how much longer we would even be together.
The enormous fire we once shared had become a dying coal buried under a soggy mountain of resentment, blame and ego. We were becoming desperate to find a way to re-ignite the flame between us. But we didn’t know how. We just knew, that underneath, the love was still there. We just needed the right TOOLS to fan it back to previous glory!
And that’s where you stepped in. Not even halfway through The Conflict Cure, we have found more connection in the last 3 weeks than we have had in YEARS! Our love flame has re-kindled and we are, oh so gently, breathing life back into its delicate heat. The techniques we are learning in this course are proving invaluable and incredibly compatible with our love values of kindness, gentleness, and respectfulness. Values we had temporarily forgotten in the struggle of this stage.
Brad has expressed to me that there is SO MUCH in this course to absorb, that he wants to restart it from the beginning upon its completion. And I agree wholeheartedly!
I have already recommended The Conflict Cure to MANY of my friends who would most definitely benefit from its magic!
Trust me when I say, that what The Conflict Cure has done for us in such a short amount of time is truly a MIRACLE in my book. You don’t realize HOW many things we have tried, all to no avail, which is kind of ironic considering how we met in the first place….in a Divorce Recovery Support Group! LOL! THAT particular tale is a long and beautiful one; that of an innocent friendship blossoming into an amazing love story.
I can’t thank you enough for this amazing program.
Many Blessings,
Carla & Brad Heins
