We can help you and your partner to reconnect with yourselves—and each other—building a stronger, more intimate, and fulfilling relationship.
Our method, Relational Life Therapy (RLT), breaks many of the rules of traditional marriage counseling—approaches you may have tried before without results.
Here’s how we spark profound change to transform even the most challenging relationships:
01
Not all problems are 50/50. Our therapists don’t sit back as neutral observers—instead, we lovingly confront partners to build understanding and self-awareness.
02
Love demands democracy. While most couples counseling focuses on lifting self-esteem, we throw equal weight behind helping the dominant return to levels of healthy self-esteem.
03
Experience profound inner child work in the presence of your partner—displaying vulnerability that builds empathy, and deepens understanding of your and your partner’s behaviors.
Make Change Happen
We understand how overwhelming it can feel when your relationship -especially a marriage – is on the edge. After being stuck for so long, you may be close to giving up, wondering if divorce is the only option.
We see this all the time—and we know there is hope.
While a lack of commitment is the leading cause of divorce, cited by 75% of couples, it’s a gap that can be bridged.
Relational Life Therapy, created by Terry Real—an internationally recognized family therapist known as the “turnaround guy”—is renowned for saving couples on the brink of divorce when other methods simply couldn’t.
Our transformative marriage counseling identifies the root issues, and guides you from passive disconnection to active healing—restoring the intimacy that first brought you together.
Relational Life Therapy equips you with tools to overcome destructive patterns and repair disconnection, for true intimacy and enduring love.
Through loving confrontation, we identify the behaviors and coping mechanisms that are sabotaging your happiness and connection.
Next, we guide you through deep inner child work, helping you heal from past hurts in the presence of your partner to create deep empathy and understanding.
Then, we teach you essential relational skills to correct destructive cycles, navigate conflict with love, and develop nourishing closeness.
We know how scary it can be to start couples counseling. Opening up about your most vulnerable sides—your fears, regrets, and unmet needs—isn’t easy.
At Relational Life Texas, we’re committed to making that first step feel as comfortable as possible, creating a compassionate space where you can feel safe, understood, and supported.
Whether you’ve felt stuck for years or simply want to strengthen your bond, our therapists lovingly address the heart of your challenges from the very first session—helping you reconnect with yourself and your partner.

“. . .the couples work that you do is so valuable — we are relating now in a wholly new and expansive way. It’s what each of us knew we were missing but could not have found on our own. Thank you so much!”
“Some of the things I love about Terry Real and his work are the practical steps, down-to-earth guidance and his model of having the courage and respect to be honest with couples when one partner is behaving in a way that needs to be addressed first.”
“Thank you for introducing me to the real Mark, and for introducing him to himself. I am happier in our relationship then I have been in many many years. I use the strategies you taught us with Mark as well as with my siblings and friends. They work! If we never found someone willing to be straight and honest we would not be together, that much I know. Your honesty about Mark allowed me to stand down. Now that I am able to stand down I am able to try to be the person I want to be in this relationship.”

“The practical and positive approach of RLT has helped my clients see change almost immediately. By weaving past trauma and its impact on relationships and by building new skills together, my clients have expressed new deep and meaningful connections. RLT is not just a training program, it is a community that works in unity to offer ongoing support to therapists as well as clients.”
“I have found that most couples really want a relationship that works for both people and they have no idea how to make that happen. Once they learn that implementing a set of learned skills can achieve their goal, the majority of couples are willing to do things differently. They become empowered to change!”
You don’t have to stay stuck. Our therapists are ready to help you repair your relationship, renew your love, and find your way back to cherishing your connection for life.
