Is a Laura Doyle Certified Coach Worth It? What You Really Get From Relationship Coaching

How coaching helps you transform your marriage, your heart, and your legacy—starting with you.

When women first read The Empowered Wife by Laura Doyle and begin practicing the Six Intimacy Skills™, they often feel an immediate spark of hope: “This actually works!”

They start seeing changes—more peace in their home, warmer interactions, maybe even their husband doing something unexpectedly thoughtful. It’s encouraging, validating… even life-changing.

But inevitably, many women reach a point where they feel stuck.

Maybe a familiar pattern resurfaces. Maybe they’re unsure which skill to use in a tricky moment. Maybe they’re struggling to stay consistent, especially when old habits or painful triggers pop up.

That’s when many begin to consider private coaching.

But then the questions creep in:

• “Shouldn’t I be able to figure this out on my own?”

• “What if I’m too far gone for this to work?”

• “What if my situation is different?”

• “Is coaching really that different from just reading the book and listening to the podcast?”

• “What if I invest and still can’t fix my marriage?”

Totally fair questions—especially for women who are used to doing everything on their own, giving their all, and still feeling like it’s not enough.

And here’s the part that surprises them:The transformation that happens inside a coaching relationship goes far beyond just learning how to apply the skills effectively.

In this blog post, I want to help you determine if investing in a Laura Doyle coach is worth it for your. I’m pulling back the curtain on what you’re really getting when you work with a Laura Doyle Certified Relationship Coach—and why this investment isn't just about support or strategy. It's about deep healing, rewiring the way you relate, and becoming the woman who inspires love, affection, and emotional safety in her marriage—without begging, nagging, or trying to fix your husband.

Is a Laura Doyle certified coach worth it? What you really get from relationship coaching

This isn’t about just getting advice—you’re getting a path to consistent transformation.

When women reach out for coaching, they’re often weary. They've read the book, listened to the podcast, and even seen glimmers of hope from practicing the Six Intimacy Skills™—but something still feels stuck.

They tell me things like:

“I just want to feel close to him again—like we’re on the same team.” “I’ve tried everything, and I still feel so alone in this marriage.” “We barely talk anymore. And when we do, it just ends in another fight.”

At first, they think they’re signing up for:

• Weekly private coaching sessions

• Practical relationship tools and communication strategies

• Support and encouragement to help turn their marriage around

And yes—you absolutely get all of that.

But what many don’t realize at first is that this journey goes far deeper. Private coaching isn’t just about learning what to do—it’s about discovering who you are again in your marriage, and learning how to lead from a place of peace, strength, and vulnerability.

Through coaching, women begin to:

• Reconnect with their own joy, femininity, and lightheartedness—qualities they may not have felt in years

• Feel emotionally safe and grounded at home instead of constantly bracing for the next misunderstanding or disappointment

• Heal deep resentment and emotional pain—without needing their husband to change first or say the “right” words

• Invite warmth, affection, and even romance without begging, pushing, or micromanaging

• Let go of control and walk in peace, trusting that they can influence their marriage without force

This isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about building the kind of inner stability and emotional clarity that creates lasting transformation—not just in your relationship, but in how you experience yourself as a woman, a wife, and a human being.

“I came into coaching thinking I needed to change my husband. I left realizing how much power I had by focusing on my peace— and now my marriage feels like home again.” —Gabby, Private Coaching Client

What’s really behind my Laura Doyle Certified Coaching Program

When you hire a Laura Doyle Certified Relationship Coach, you’re not just signing up for someone to give you advice or recite the same tips you’ve already read in a book. You’re getting something far deeper—a transformative process designed just for you, based on a proven framework that has helped thousands of women restore their marriages and reclaim the peace and intimacy they’ve been longing for.

Here’s what you’re really getting when you work with a Laura Doyle Certified Coach:

• A step-by-step process tailored to your real-life relationship: I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Each coaching session and skills application is customized to meet you where you are and help you make the most of your unique situation.

  
  

• A coach trained in a proven, relationship-transforming framework: The Six Intimacy Skills™ are not just theoretical—they are a practical, time-tested method that has saved countless marriages. This isn’t guesswork; it’s a method that works.

  
  

• A coach who has used these very tools to transform her own marriage: I’m not just sharing what I’ve learned—I’ve lived it. These skills helped me heal and grow in my own marriage, and they’ve shaped the work I do with each and every client.

  
  

• A steady, compassionate guide to help you stay consistent, even when things feel tough: Staying consistent with the Six Intimacy Skills™ can be challenging, especially when old patterns surface. That’s why I’m here—to help you stay on track, gently guide you through the hard moments, and celebrate the progress along the way.

  
  

But before your first coaching session even happens, a lot is already happening behind the scenes. Here’s what you don’t see:

• A deep review of your relationship assessment and marriage history: I take the time to really understand where you’re at in your relationship, the history of your marriage, and the challenges you’re facing. This gives me a clear picture of how we can move forward together.

  
  

• Strategic focus on your goals, relationship dynamics, and recurring pain points: Our work is rooted in your specific needs, goals, and the dynamics at play in your marriage. Every session is built to address what’s most important for you at that moment.

  
  

• Custom tools to help you unlock emotional safety, trust, and playfulness: Emotional safety, trust, and playfulness are the cornerstones of a thriving relationship. I’ll give you tools designed to rebuild these foundational elements so your marriage can grow stronger, all rooted in proven The Six Intimacy Skills.

  
  

• Prayerful preparation and intention for your growth and breakthrough: Before I even hop on a call with you, I’ve already invested time in reviewing your progress, carefully tailoring your roadmap, and praying for clarity, guidance, and breakthroughs on your behalf. Your growth matters deeply to me, and I’m fully committed to seeing you succeed.

What you gain from coaching that you can’t put a price on

Yes, you’ll gain powerful communication skills. Yes, you’ll learn what to say (and not say) to invite connection. But the real magic of coaching is in what you can’t put a price on—the intangible gifts that come when you start implementing the Six Intimacy Skills™ and feel the transformation in your marriage.

Here’s what clients tell me they walk away with:

• Relief that they’re no longer doing this alone: One of the most profound shifts in coaching is realizing you don’t have to carry the weight of your marriage by yourself. With personalized guidance and a clear path forward, you no longer have to feel like you’re stuck in isolation, trying to figure it out on your own.

  
  

• Joy in hearing their husband laugh with them again: Laughter is a sign of connection. When women come to me, they often say their marriage feels more like a business arrangement or a roommate situation. But through coaching, they rediscover the joy of lighthearted moments, spontaneous laughter, and genuine fun with their husband again.

  
  

• Emotional safety, even when life gets stressful: Life happens—stress, work pressure, kids, health concerns, you name it. But when you’ve created emotional safety in your relationship, these external stresses don’t lead to emotional shutdown or explosive arguments. You can face challenges together, as a team, knowing that you both have the space to feel safe and heard.

  
  

• Hope that it’s not too late for love to return: So many women come to me feeling like they’ve missed their chance for true intimacy or that their marriage is beyond repair. But coaching helps them rediscover the hope that love isn’t a fleeting thing—it’s a living, breathing force that can be reignited. It’s never too late to reconnect and rebuild.

  
  

• A new legacy for their children—one of peace, respect, and emotional strength: The beauty of transforming your marriage is that it doesn’t just impact you and your husband—it impacts your children. They learn what love, respect, and emotional strength look like in practice. They witness what a healthy, connected partnership can be, giving them a solid foundation for their own relationships in the future.

  
  

“I used to cry myself to sleep wondering if divorce was the only option. Now I fall asleep in his arms. Things aren’t perfect, but it’s peaceful and we’ve come so far—and I didn’t know that was possible.” —Jeana, 6-Month Package

These are the priceless gifts that come from coaching—the peace, connection, and joy that transform not just your marriage, but your whole life. When you work with me, you’re not just investing in tools; you’re investing in a new reality, one where love, safety, and fulfillment are no longer just hopes but everyday experiences.

Why “free” advice sometimes costs more in the long run

In today’s digital world, there’s no shortage of free content. Articles, videos, podcasts—resources are everywhere, offering advice and tips on how to save your marriage.

But here’s the thing: while those resources can be helpful, they often fall short of what you truly need. What they can’t always give you is the personalized guidance that your unique marriage requires.

Free content can offer general advice, but it can’t take into account your specific dynamics, challenges, and emotional history. What works for one couple may not work for another, and without tailored support, you might find yourself stuck, unsure of what will truly help you.

Here’s what free resources often can’t provide:

• Personalized guidance for your unique marriage: Every marriage has its own story, struggles, and needs. Free advice doesn’t know you or your husband. It’s hard to apply one-size-fits-all solutions to a relationship that’s as nuanced as yours. With coaching, you receive a roadmap tailored specifically to your relationship—one that’s based on your unique goals, struggles, and dreams.

  
  

• Accountability to help you stay consistent: It’s easy to get inspired by a free article or video, but without someone to hold you accountable, it’s all too easy to fall back into old patterns. Coaching provides that accountability—keeping you focused, on track, and encouraged, even when the road gets tough.

  
  

• Loving support when you’re triggered, confused, or overwhelmed: Marriage is an emotional journey. There will be moments when you’re triggered or overwhelmed, when you feel confused or lost. Free resources can’t offer the emotional support you need in those moments. In coaching, you have a steady, compassionate guide by your side to help you work through those challenging feelings, offering clarity and wisdom when you need it most.

  
  

• A roadmap that keeps you moving forward, even on the hard days: The work of transforming a marriage is ongoing. Free advice might give you a burst of motivation, but it doesn’t provide the consistent structure to keep you progressing over the long term. A personalized coaching plan gives you clear, actionable steps that help you keep moving forward, even when things feel hard.

  
  

The hidden cost of trying to do it alone?

• Wasting time on strategies that don’t apply to your situation: Free content might give you tips, but without the context of your specific marriage, those strategies can feel disconnected and ineffective. You can spend hours trying to apply advice that simply doesn’t resonate with your situation—leaving you frustrated and disillusioned.

  
  

• Spinning in self-doubt and second-guessing your instincts: When you’re trying to figure it out alone, it’s easy to question whether you’re doing things right or if you’re even on the right path. You might find yourself constantly second-guessing your decisions, which only leads to more frustration and confusion. Coaching offers the confidence that comes with having a clear plan and a trusted expert to help you implement it.

  
  

• Giving up before the breakthrough happens: Without the right support, it’s easy to get discouraged and give up before you see the breakthrough you’re hoping for. You might feel like you’ve tried everything, but without consistent guidance, it’s hard to push through the obstacles. Coaching helps you stay in the game, reminding you of your progress and helping you find the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for.

  
  

Free advice might seem like an easy answer, but in the long run, it often costs more—especially when it leaves you feeling more stuck, frustrated, and confused than when you started. The true cost is not just about money, but about the emotional energy and time wasted, not to mention the missed opportunities for real connection and healing in your marriage.

Investing in coaching means investing in lasting change—a chance to move beyond temporary fixes and towards a future where your marriage feels truly aligned and joyful.

So, is marriage coaching worth it?

Only you can truly answer that question, because coaching is a deeply personal choice. But if you’re longing for:

• Real connection with your husband — not just surviving day-to-day, but thriving together, deeply connected and in sync.

• A marriage rooted in emotional safety, faith, and feminine strength — where you feel cherished, respected, and empowered to show up as your true self, knowing you are supported and loved no matter what.

• A coach who understands your heart and knows the way out of the pain — someone who listens to you deeply, sees beyond your struggles, and can offer the wisdom and guidance that makes all the difference in helping you heal and grow.

  
  

...Then private coaching might be exactly what your heart’s been craving.

I understand the emotional toll that feeling disconnected can take, and I’ve been where you are. But I also know that there is another way—a path forward that can bring deep joy, intimacy, and peace back to your relationship.

If you’re ready for change and open to taking that first step, I’d love to offer you a complementary relationship assessment call. Together, we’ll explore the possibilities for your marriage and your life, and begin to outline a vision for what your future can look like—one where love and connection aren’t just dreams, but a living reality.

Client Spotlight: Margaret’s Story

When Margaret first reached out, she was completely worn down. A devoted mom of three, she had poured herself into her family, trying to do everything “right.” From the outside, she looked like she had it all together—but inside, she felt heartbreakingly alone.

Her marriage felt cold and disconnected. Conversations with her husband were either surface-level or tense. She missed the laughter, the tenderness, the feeling of being truly seen. More than anything, she just wanted to feel close to him again… but she didn’t know how.

During our 12 weeks of coaching together, something powerful shifted.

Margaret began to:

• Laugh with her husband again—not forced or awkward, but real, easy joy

• Receive spontaneous hugs, kisses, and help around the house—without needing to ask

• Feel like a woman again—not just a mom, fixer, or roommate

• Let go of the resentment that had been weighing her down for years

• Enjoy peace in her home—and in her heart—for the first time in a long time

  
  

She discovered that she didn’t have to keep striving to fix everything. Instead, she learned to lead with her softness, her peace, and her feminine strength—and her husband responded in beautiful, unexpected ways.

Her words?

“I got my husband back… but more importantly, I got me back. I didn’t realize how much I’d been carrying. Coaching helped me lay it down, and I finally feel light again.”

Margaret’s story is just one of many—but it’s proof that when you invest in yourself, your marriage begins to heal in ways you didn’t think were possible.
