“After watching my parents struggle with resentments at the end of their lives, after over 70 years marriage, my husband and I wanted to use this fall to do a long-planned “tune-up” for our wonderful 40-year marriage.

We were blessed to be matched with Lisa Ghali, who was really quite amazing. She listened and laughed with us–pointing out things we didn’t always see or appreciate about each other. Our biggest take-aways were learning to communicate even more clearly (because neither of us is a mind-reader!) and asking better questions (“Tell me what you were thinking!”). We so enjoyed our sessions with her and learned strategies to keep the party going for years to come. We’ve had many health challenges over the years, so we especially appreciate how well she understood the impact of those on our marriage. Most importantly, we learned that there was plenty of blame to go around! Rather than trying to assign blame, we realized we both had “pennies in the nickel.”

I also want to thank both Lisa and Office Manager Hannah for working so hard to make sure the Bethesda location could accommodate my physical disability. I truly appreciated that!

We are so grateful for such a lovely experience and highly recommend Well Marriage Center and Lisa Ghali. We will be back whenever we feel the need for another “tune-up” down the road!”
