What You Can Expect From Our Coaching Sessions

Every situation is different, but here’s the shape of what I bring to every call:

Feedback on the current state of your marriage

I’ll help you discover or fine-tune a path forward that preserves the most possible hope of reconciliation.

Collaborative, but candid

I try to balance working together to find the answers that fit for you with candid, practical feedback — including the hard truths you need to hear, or a pointed suggestion to make a certain decision.

Focus on what actually matters

I’ll help you hone in on the specific things you should be focusing your energy on, based on my experience seeing similar separations.

Her point-of-view, with more empathy

I’ll work with you to see your wife’s perspective in a more empathetic way, to aid in communication and reconnection.

Answers to your hardest questions

We’ll find answers together to the hardest questions you’re struggling with in your marriage right now.

Opportunities, whatever your situation

Whether you’re living together or apart, whether there’s an affair or not, whether divorce is filed or things are just rocky — I’ll help you see the opportunities you have available to improve your relationship.

Is Coaching Right for You?

Right for you if…

  • You’re a man facing unwanted separation or divorce who still wants to save the marriage
  • You’ve consumed content on your own and now want feedback specific to YOUR situation
  • You want collaborative conversation — but you also want candid, practical feedback when a hard truth needs to be said
  • You’re ready to hone in on the specific things you should actually be focusing your energy on
  • You value direct access to someone who has seen inside thousands of separations

Not the best fit if…

Coaching is capacity-managed. I take approximately 4 calls per week to keep the quality high. If the calendar is booked out, you may need to schedule 2–3 weeks in advance.

A Little About My Coaching Background & Style

I never planned to coach men through separation when I started Husband Help Haven back in 2011. I was just a guy on the wild west of the internet who really wanted to have a good marriage himself, and who wanted to teach and help other men to do the same.

It didn’t take long for me to realize there’s a constant undercurrent of men in marriage crisis in our world today. Women are leaving their husbands and their families in higher numbers than ever before, and most of our world applauds it. My mission on Husband Help Haven is to help as many of those men as possible save their marriages — and become the best men they can be in the process.

Back in the day, I prided myself on extensively helping every single guy who reached out to me. For 7 or 8 years, I walked side-by-side through the trenches of literally thousands of men’s separations via limitless free email coaching. That’s how I learned so much about the relationship dynamics behind separation in the first place.

I started professionally coaching Husband Help Haven readers on a case-by-case basis back in 2019. Since then, I’ve coached well over 100 men through their separations. Today, I’m convinced there’s no better way to help someone than face-to-face — and if you decide to partner with me as your coach, that’s what you’ll get from me.

Common Questions

How do I prepare for the call?

No formal prep. When you book through Calendly, you’ll fill in a short paragraph about your situation so Stephen has context walking in. Beyond that, just show up ready to talk.

Can I book more than one call?

Yes. Many men book a follow-up after their first session. Single calls are booked individually at the same rate. If you want ongoing access, Husband Help Group LIVE members get $50 off every coaching call.

What if I need to reschedule?

Life happens. You can reschedule with reasonable notice through the booking system. No-shows are non-refundable.

Is this like therapy?

No. Coaching is focused on your separation — your communication, your decisions, the path forward. If you’re dealing with clinical mental health issues, a licensed therapist should be part of your support system alongside coaching.

What if coaching isn’t the right fit for me?

I’ll tell you. If your situation would be better served by the course or the community, I’ll redirect you there. I’d rather you get the right help than pay for the wrong thing.

How soon can I book?

Depends on current availability — typically within 1–3 weeks. Book early if your situation is time-sensitive, and if you need a custom time that’s not on the calendar, email [email protected].

Ready to Talk?

One focused hour with someone who has walked alongside thousands of men through exactly what you’re walking through now. Book a time that works for you, and we’ll take it from there.
