The Psychology of Men, Women, and Marriage

What Works. What Doesn't. And Why.

Marriage Education Programs

You've probably been told that relationships are just "hard work."

That men are simple. That women are confusing. That romance just fades over time.

But what if that’s not the full truth?

Real connection is possible.

You just need the right understanding—and a new way to talk to each other.

Whether you're dating, engaged, newly married, or decades in ...
If you're feeling frustrated, disconnected, or just unsure what went wrong, you're in the right place.

Men and Women Are Different by Design.

What You'll Learn:

  • How to finally understand your partner's mindset—without guessing or nagging
  • Why men and women communicate differently (and how to bridge the gap)
  • The hidden patterns that lead to emotional distance—and how to reverse them
  • What makes a "good enough" marriage great
  • How to connect without dragging your mate to therapy

It’s not magic. It’s psychology.

Backed by research. Delivered with compassion.

Hello, I'm Dr. Debi. 

Both men and women desperately need a practical, doable approach to Romance! 

Honestly, I don't know why they don't teach this in school!

  • I was not quite 3 years old when my parents broke up. So I never learned anything helpful about love and marriage from either of them. 
  • I married young. We quickly got stuck in an endless loop of miscommunication.
  • Counseling wasn’t an option, and I felt totally alone in trying to figure out how to create a healthier marriage. So I read enough relationship books to choke a horse.

But nothing changed. And our marriage ended.

Several years later, I finally had the opportunity to go to college, and on to grad school where I earned my Master’s and Doctoral degrees in Clinical Psychology.

And still—I wasn’t taught what men and women actually need to make love work.

I didn’t give up. I got more and more curious. I studied men and marriage clinically, academically, and personally. I became a university professor and a couple's counselor. 

For 25 years, I watched similar scenarios play out and was blessed to help other couples change the outcome of their stories. Because by then, I had figured out solutions to marriage problems ... usually simple, but not always obvious ... and rarely easy.
