Wouldn’t it be great if relationships came easy? What if we all just knew intuitively what to do to make our marriages and committed partnerships the absolute best and deepest that they could be?

But the reality is that none of us are pros, and even our best relationships can go deeper. We often use love and sex as measurements for how developed our relationships are, but in reality, the glue between us is being intentional with one another, and learning to use curiosity as a strategic relationship tool.

Couples by Intention lets you eavesdrop on a handful of intrepid couples as they engage in twelve intense weeks of group counseling. As you listen to their stories, you’ll learn how to stay interested in your partner in the good times, how to communicate in the stressful seasons, and how to keep your love alive in the normalcy of everyday life.

Come join and explore how to make your relationship last for the long haul!

“Couples by Intention is a gem! All the expertise of an experienced couples’ therapist is offered in a highly readable and engaging narrative. Readers will feel like they have a wise and caring friend sitting next to them, giving them practical strategies, telling them instructive stories, all delivered with warmth and compassion. Different from other books on this topic, and more revelatory, Couples by Intention explores Kronenfeld’s innovative couples’ therapy group in great detail. The tools and strategies come to life in this group, as do the people in it. Readers will undoubtedly resonate with the couples’ stories and struggles, and will benefit from witnessing their healing. This is a great resource for couples and clinicians alike.”  —Miri Skolnik, Psy.D., Assistant Dean, Student Support Services, MIT

“As a couple’s therapist, I am excited to recommend this book to clients who are looking to create more connection in their relationships. I know that the valuable insights [[Elliott] shares, as well as the interactive exercises provided, will lead to growth and positive change for many couples.” —Amy Krasner, LICSW

“Elliott’s group brought many gifts to us. We learned we are not alone, that other people have similar issues to us, and we found inspiration in the progress other couples made. We always left feeling motivated and uplifted. He gave us a lot of tools and language that we were able to take back to apply to our relationship as well as other relationships in our lives.”  —“Blake”

“Couples by Intention helped us initiate more open and direct conversations in our day-to-day life, feel less judgment of how others choose to navigate their partnerships, and state what really matters to ours. It pushed us to answer questions we’d never asked ourselves or never dared ask others. It helped us realize we are all dealing with similar challenges, when before we imagined we faced them alone.”  —“Isabelle and Jens”
