The Cohesive Couple: Finding Fulfillment and Moving Forward Together

Whether you’re living unfulfilled, lack alignment, let problems divide you, or are just unhappy, know that you’re not alone.

By Tom White, Special to California Business Journal

Five years ago, Rebecca and James Lockwood felt like “life” had taken over their marriage. With two children and a growing business, commitments to friends and family, and everyday chaos, their relationship was suffering and it was clear that they were heading in opposite directions.

Their life and marriage weren’t fulfilling, and they recognized they needed to do something.

This feeling might sound familiar to you, but plenty of couples are “just trying to keep their heads above water,” as James would say. Some couples decide to live with it, others give up and break things off, but others still choose to act.

There are ways forward.

Doing Things Differently

Faced with this challenge, Rebecca started to think about what they could do differently. As a coach, she worked with companies to increase communication, build teams, and achieve goals. What stopped her from applying the same principles to her life and relationships as she would if working for a company?

“At first,” Rebecca recalls, “James thought I was crazy as I pieced together tools and suggested weekly meetings. However, once he began seeing results, he embraced it and leaned in.

“We tried a lot of things—a lot—until we started figuring it all out,” James says.

“Are we perfect? Not even close. Do we have all the answers all the time? Nope. It wasn’t all smooth or easy. There were tears, tension, and pain—and sometimes it was downright funny.”

Framework for Growth and Goals

Realizing the potential to help others with their relationships, Rebecca and James created a relationship operating system. This system has helped many couples experience growth and benefits including accomplishing three-year goals in 18 months or less and experiencing deeper levels of connection. They created a community to connect couples in person and online to improve their relationships and thrive together.
