What’s Missing From the The Marriage Counselor’s Office
Learn How to Go From Problem Talk to Solution Talk
WHY IS HEARTS RENEWED DIFFERENT?
Most marriage counseling keeps couples stuck in a loop of “problem talk.”
Hearts Renewed helps you break free from that loop and move toward what you actually want in your marriage.
It removes the top excuses couples use to avoid getting help:
❌ Too expensive? → It’s affordable and accessible online.
❌ No childcare? → Do it from your couch after the kids are asleep.
❌ They don’t get my faith? → This is 100% Catholic, built by professionals who believe what you believe.
❌ It doesn’t work? → This isn’t theory. It’s grounded in what actually helps couples change.
❌ I know more about my marriage than a counselor does → Good. That’s why we teach you to become the expert in what works in your relationship.
We don’t avoid problems—we just don’t get stuck in them. You’ll focus on what you want to experience instead. That shift alone will change everything.
WHO IS IT FOR?
Hearts Renewed is for married and engaged Catholic couples who are ready for something deeper. Whether you’re newlyweds or have been together for decades, this program is for you if:
- You’re stuck in cycles of conflict, silence, or emotional distance
- You’ve tried counseling, but it didn’t help—or felt awkward, expensive, or disconnected from your faith
- You want a marriage that’s holy and Joyful
- You’re longing to heal past wounds, rebuild trust, and rediscover why you fell in love in the first place
- Want a better and more fulfilling sexual life
- Desire to be on the “Same page” with your spouse in matters of parenting, finances, and goal setting.
If you’ve ever said, “We don’t have time,” “We can’t afford therapy,” or “They just won’t get our faith,”—this was made for you.
WHAT DOES IT DO?
Hearts Renewed helps you stop fighting the same battles and start dreaming again—together.
You’ll learn how to:
- Heal from past hurts with dignity and hope
- Rebuild trust and connection at your own pace
- Communicate more clearly and compassionately
- Rekindle emotional closeness and sexual intimacy
- Resolve conflict without blame or shutdowns
- Date each other again and create shared dreams
- Build a marriage that is emotionally secure, spiritually united, and joyfully intimate
HOW DOES IT WORK?
- Language activates different neighborhoods of the brain. Each question a therapist asks directs you to certain places in your mind.
- Now picture your marriage like a taxi ride. Every question you ask becomes the steering wheel.
- Traditional therapy asks questions to solve problems, taking you to the neighborhoods of blame, frustration, humiliation, and fear. Hearts
- Renewed uses solution focused questions which are neuron-intentional to guide your mind and rewire your brain to activate centers of hope, possibility, and solution building.
- This means you experience real understanding, connection, and long term change. You don’t need a third person to ask these questions, you just need each other.
This online program blends the best of solution-focused therapy, cutting-edge relationship science, and the timeless wisdom of the Catholic Church. It’s fully endorsed by clergy and faithful to Catholic teaching on marriage and sexuality.
Inside you’ll find:
- Self-paced video lessons (no awkward Zoom calls)
- Guided reflections and exercises based on real Catholic marriages
- A framework that focuses on what’s working—not just what’s broken
- Tools for handling conflict, building emotional safety, and deepening intimacy
- Integration of prayer, sacramental grace, and theology of the body
- No weird advice. No moral compromise. No therapy jargon.

“The Hearts Renewed Program is incredible! The simple questions are full of potential for an enlightening conversation. There is no preparation needed except an open heart and mind.
