Frequently Asked Questions

Counseling often focuses on diagnosing and treating emotional or psychological issues from the past. Coaching is future-focused and goal-oriented. We help couples build skills, deepen connection, and pursue God's design for their marriage—not just heal but thrive.

Key differences:

• Therapy: Treats mental health disorders, diagnoses conditions, focuses on past trauma
• Coaching: Builds skills for the future, focuses on goals and growth, equips you with practical tools

While we honor the important work of licensed therapists, our role as coaches is to walk alongside you as you build the marriage you've been praying for.

Because marriage takes two people, and we believe healing works best with two perspectives.

When you work with us for couples coaching, you get both Coach Kelly and Coach Co in every session—a husband-and-wife team with 24 years of real marriage experience.

This means:

• Both spouses feel heard and understood
• Gender-balanced support (husbands have someone who gets their perspective, wives have someone who gets theirs)
• You see a thriving marriage in action, not just theory
• Two coaches' wisdom, insights, and tools
• Neither partner feels outnumbered or alone

Most coaches charge $250+ per session for one coach. We give you two for a comparable investment—because we believe every marriage deserves that level of support.

Note: Individual coaching sessions are with Coach Kelly only.

Christian marriage coaching combines practical relationship tools with biblical wisdom to help couples grow spiritually, emotionally, and relationally. At Divine Grace Coaching, we guide couples through challenges while keeping Christ at the center of the marriage.

We don't just teach techniques—we help you build a marriage that reflects God's love and design.

We work with:

• Married couples seeking to reconnect, rebuild, or strengthen their marriage
• Engaged couples preparing for marriage and wanting a strong foundation
• Individuals  seeking personal healing, growth, or support for personal or relationship challenges
• While our coaching is rooted in Christian faith and biblical principles, you don't need to be a Christian to benefit from our services. You just need to be open to our faith-based approach.

Not at all! While our coaching is rooted in Christian faith and biblical principles, you don't need to be a Christian to benefit from our services.

We work with:

• Committed Christians seeking faith-based support
• Believers who want to grow spiritually in their marriage
• Spiritually curious couples open to exploring faith
• Anyone willing to engage with our Christ-centered approach

What we ask: Be open and respectful of our biblical perspective. We'll honor where you are in your faith journey while offering wisdom from Scripture.

If you're unsure if we're a good fit, let's talk! Book a couples session.

 We coach both individuals and couples.

For couples coaching: You get both of us—Coach Kelly and Coach Co—working as a team in every session.

For individual coaching:  Women work one-on-one with Coach Kelly, and men work one-on-one with Coach Co. Individual coaching is for those who desire personal growth, healing, clarity, spiritual support, or guidance through life and relationship challenges. 

We understand that sometimes only one spouse is ready to begin the healing process, and that's okay. Starting with individual coaching can be a powerful first step.

We hear this often! Many couples start with just one spouse ready to engage.

Here's what we've seen work:

1. Start with individual coaching -  If you’re a woman, you’ll work with Coach Kelly. If you’re a man, you’ll work with Coach Co. We’ll help you gain clarity, process what you’re walking through, strengthen your faith, and learn practical tools that can positively impact your marriage and personal growth. 
2. Your growth impacts your marriage - When one partner changes, the dynamic shifts. Often, spouses become more open to coaching when they see positive changes
3. Invite them to one session - After a few individual sessions, invite your spouse to join for just one session. No pressure, just a conversation.

We've had many situations where a hesitant spouse becomes fully engaged after seeing the value firsthand.

Bottom line: Even if your spouse isn't ready, YOU can start healing and growing. And that matters.

Every session is a safe, judgment-free space where we:

1. Listen to your story - We want to understand what you're experiencing
2. Identify patterns - We help you see what's really happening beneath the surface
3. Provide practical tools - We give you strategies you can use immediately
4. Pray with you - We invite God into your healing process
5. Create action steps - You'll leave with clear next steps to work on between sessions

Sessions are conversational, not lecture-style. You lead the conversation based on what you need most that week. We're here to guide, support, and equip you—not judge or tell you what to do.

Every couple is different, but most of our clients report feeling more connected and hopeful after just a few sessions.

That said, lasting transformation takes time and commitment. Our coaching is designed to provide consistent support, practical tools, and guidance that leads to real, sustainable change.

You choose the pace that works best for you:

• Weekly sessions are great for couples or individuals wanting consistent support and momentum. 
• Biweekly sessions (every 2 weeks) allow space to process and apply what you’re learning while still receiving ongoing guidance. 
• Monthly sessions work well for maintenance, accountability, continued growth, and long-term support. 

Remember: We provide the tools, guidance, and support—but you do the work. The more engaged you are between sessions, the more breakthrough and growth you’ll experience.

Results depend on your willingness to be honest, apply what you learn, and remain committed to the process. We’ll walk with you every step of the way. 

Most coaching sessions are 90 minutes and are guided by both coaches in a supportive, faith-centered environment.

Longer intensive-style sessions may vary depending on the support option selected.

Prepare/Enrich is a research-backed relationship assessment tool used by coaches and counselors worldwide.

It's a customized questionnaire that helps identify:

• Your relationship strengths
• Areas for growth
• Communication patterns
• Conflict resolution styles
• Personality dynamics and compatibility

You and your spouse each complete the assessment online (takes about 30 minutes), and we review the detailed results together in session. It gives us incredible insight into your unique relationship and helps us tailor our coaching to your specific needs.

This assessment is included in our package programs at no additional cost.

We're based in Dallas Fort Worth, Texas and offer virtual coaching (via Zoom).  

Virtual coaching allows us to serve couples across Texas and beyond—from the comfort and privacy of your own home. You'll receive a secure Zoom link after booking.

Why virtual coaching works so well:

• More flexible scheduling (no commute time)
• Comfortable, private setting where you can be fully yourself
• Same quality and effectiveness as in-person sessions
• Easier for couples with kids, busy schedules, or who live outside our area
• Many couples find they actually open up more in their own space

We've found that virtual coaching creates a safe, intimate environment where real transformation happens. You get the full benefit of working with both of us without leaving your living room!

Note: Our VIP "Forever by the Shore" retreat includes in-person sessions at a luxury beachfront villa - see our Services page for details.

Sessions can be booked directly through our website by selecting the support option that best fits your relationship needs.

If you are unsure where to start, you may also schedule a free clarity call..

After booking your session, you will receive a confirmation email with your session details, reminders, and virtual meeting link. Prior to your session, you may also receive a short questionnaire to help us better understand your relationship goals and areas where you’re seeking support.

During your session, we will provide guidance, practical tools, and personalized next steps tailored to your relationship and current season.
