Do you want to save, strengthen, and safeguard your marriage?
Marriages in the U.S. are ending earlier than ever.
Half of all who divorce do so within 7 years
The 4th year of marriage has a higher rate of divorce than any other
Most staggering ... 70% of these couples divorce without getting any professional counsel
Let’s keep it real.
The challenges, frustrations, and disappointments you're struggling with right now are common to marriage. Divorce — and eventual re-marriage — only swaps your current set of challenges with a different set of challenges.
Don't lose hope. Don't bail in the midst of your discontent. Get coaching. Develop your skills and put them into practice. You can learn to thrive right where you are.
We can help.
Our coaching is grounded in the work of Dr. John Gottman
The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work is the result of scientific study of more than 3,000 couples by world renowned relationship expert Dr. John Gottman.
Through his groundbreaking research, Dr. Gottman was able to identify the precise behaviors that make marriages work AND the precise behaviors that are toxic to a relationship.
forBetter has teamed with two Certified Gottman Therapists — Zach Brittle and Laura Heck — who have trained extensively at the Gottman Institute under Dr. Gottman personally. Zach and Laura will be your guides on your journey to save, strengthen, and safeguard your marriage.
LAURA HECK is a relationship expert, speaker, media personality, Certified Gottman Therapist and Master Trainer for The Gottman Seven Principles Program. Laura has been a featured speaker for Google Talks, coached hundreds of women through the Epic Wives Experiment, and is co-host of the podcast Marriage Therapy Radio . She now lives in Bend, OR with her beloved and patient husband of 15 years, and their gregarious young son.

ZACH BRITTLE is a Certified Gottman Therapist with a thriving practice in Seattle, WA. He has been counseling couples for over 15 years. He is a best-selling author of The Relationship Alphabet, and Marriage Therapy Journal as well as co-host of the podcast Marriage Therapy Radio. Additionally, his writings and ideas have been featured in Real Simple, Men’s Health, and Vanity Fair. He has been happily married to his wife Rebecca for 23 out of 24 years. They are parents to two adulting daughters.
“Their teaching is practical, proven, and when you do the work…transformational.”
Zach and Laura have spent thousands of hours counseling married couples from all walks of life. Even though every couple is unique, there are commonalities to their complaints.
Drawing on their wealth of training and clinical experience, forBetter asked Zach and Laura to develop a program to guide at-home couples with the same insights couples receive during in-office counseling. The result is Marriage in Motion, a recorded series of 16 on-demand video coaching sessions.
What couples are saying about Marriage in Motion
“Think of it. We live in a different hemisphere than Zach and Laura. Still, they faithfully meet us in our home — every single week — at a time of our choosing. They are engaging, easy to follow, and willing to move at our pace. And it’s working! We’re building a stronger marriage. We’re enjoying a closer connection. We’re so grateful for this opportunity.”

“This course has been gold to us. We’ve always thought we had a pretty good marriage. We wanted better, but didn’t know how to get there. Until we were introduced to MARRIAGE in MOTION. You gave us practical insights so that we could get small wins…every…single…day. You’ve helped make this marriage better.”
