The Couples Institute
When you first met, did you realize that someday you would be working together?
But we know that, with the right support, you can move past these obstacles. Our 2-day couples intensive gets at the heart of what you both want: a strong, thriving relationship that helps you realize the dreams that brought you together and fuels your work success.
What Makes Some Marriages Thrive and Others Fail?

Learn the Key Principles That Will Help You Become a Better Team
During this 2-day intensive, we will work solely with the two of you. This enables us to respond to the unique challenges you face as a couple. We will show you how the 5 core skills can empower you to:
- Identify and build upon the unique strengths each of you brings to the relationship.
- Make your differences strengthen your teamwork.
- Clarify key roles and responsibilities at home and work.
- Define clear boundaries around money, time, physical space and relationships with other people in your life.
- Learn to coach and be coached by each other to eliminate triggers that undermine successful partnerships and create needless pain and stress.

We won't sell or rent your infomation to 3rd party marketers.

More about Ellyn and Peter
As an entrepreneurial couple, you know what it means to have a vision and pursue your dreams. You know the importance of having a strong foundation for both your business and your relationship. Realizing that the life you share is the most precious asset you own — How soon would you like to start creating a stronger team?
In today’s world, the legal status of your relationship often matters less than the personal agreements that keep you together. This personalized intensive is designed to serve the needs of all committed couples, whether or not you are married.
Yes. You will attend your own personalized intensive at The Couples Institute in Menlo Park, California. We will work only with you. You will go home with a plan uniquely designed for you.
It’s dramatically different — because it is focused on the specific demands faced by the entrepreneurial couple. Since you are dealing with pressures and challenges unlike other couples, you need a unique set of skills to bring out your best. We are here ready to share these with you and help you craft a plan.
If you look solely at the dollars you’ll invest, our fee may seem expensive, yes. But when you consider the value of the relationship you share and what would happen if tension and conflict reached a point where you can no longer work together, this will seem like the best investment you’ve ever made. We’ve met and worked with many couples that wish they’d taken things seriously before the anger and resentment grew so powerful between them. Because you love each other and you want to succeed together … we believe you’ll find this a wise move in your future together.
Over the years, we’ve encountered so many couples that needed help with the distinct challenges of living and working together. We’ve heard too many couples say, “Working together is a nightmare.” And we know too many couples who wished they’d considered the impact on their lives before signing up as business partners. Couples themselves have come to us, asking for a focused intensive that would help them build a stronger foundation for their dual relationship. As married partners with years of experience working with couples, we know we have unique insights and exercises to help working couples. Now we’re ready to show you the way.
