The Couples Profile(TM) Guide
Many couples enter difficult conversations with good intentions and leave with the same argument still unresolved. Unfinished conversations, recurring disappointments, and repeated misunderstandings begin to form a pattern. Each person knows what they intended and has only partial access to what their partner experienced. Over time, those misreadings shape the relationship in ways both partners want to change.
The Clearer Us(TM) gives couples a shared way to understand what keeps happening between them. It explains how each person is wired, how each partner gives and receives care, what happens internally when closeness feels uncertain, and how protective responses combine into a recurring relationship pattern.
Drawing on decades of coaching, teaching, and leadership, Richard and Nancy Wallace guide couples through the seven areas where shared life is most often strengthened or strained: communication, conflict, trust, intimacy, finances, boundaries, and growth. Recognizable examples, reflection questions, and practical exercises help both partners examine their own contribution, understand each other more accurately, speak more directly, and interrupt familiar patterns earlier.
The work begins with shared understanding and personal responsibility. Couples learn to recognize the strengths each person brings, the pressure points that follow those strengths, and the moments when a different response can change what happens next.
The Clearer Us(TM) gives couples language for experiences that have been difficult to explain and a practical process for building their relationship with greater intention.
Read the book on its own or alongside The Us Profile(TM), a personalized relationship report that integrates both partners' responses and includes a Targeted Action Plan for the patterns shaping their relationship now.
