Marriage Coaching

With Miriam Zeitlin

I Get It.

Every marriage has its moments—some that make you remember why you fell in love, and
others that make you wonder if you’re speaking the same language.

But here’s what I know after 25+ years of marriage, countless certifications, and helping
hundreds of frum women navigate this whole relationship thing: you can have more of the
good moments and fewer of the frustrating ones.
Sometimes you just need the guidance, listening ear, and objective perspective of someone whose job it is to believe in the magic of your marriage.

What you need is someone who gets your world—the community pressures, the role
juggling, the specific challenges that come with frum married life. Someone who’s been
there, done that, and knows exactly how to help you build the marriage you want.

Every Stage. Every Challenge. I’ve Got You.

Here’s a taste of how coaching with me, Miriam Zeitlin, supports you through each phase of married life:

The Reality Check

You’re a few months (or years) in, and marriage feels… different than you expected. The honeymoon phase is over, and you’re wondering if this is just “normal” or if something’s really actually off. Whether it’s communication, connection, or more private aspects of marriage, you’ll finally get clarity on what’s normal growing pains and what actually needs attention—so you can stop second-guessing every little thing.

My World, His World.
Where's Ours?

You’ve got your friends, your interests, your way of doing things. He’s got his learning, his work, his routines. Somewhere along the way, you both created separate lives that happen to intersect at dinner and bedtime. You’re growing—but in different directions. You don’t dislike each other, but you’re becoming strangers who share a life instead of partners building one together. Time to rediscover what “we” means and create a world that belongs to both of you.

The Roommate Trap

You’re living parallel lives in the same house. You’re both busy, both tired, both… really polite strangers who happen to share a last name. The spark and connection feel like a distant memory. Those walls you didn’t even realize you built? They’re coming down, so you can feel like a couple again, not just co-managers of a household.

The Rush Hour of Life

Teenagers, carpools, parent-teacher conferences, seminary applications, shidduch calls—your marriage has become mission control for everyone else’s life. You’re tag-teaming through each day, but when’s the last time you actually talked about anything other than who’s picking up whom and when? In the chaos of raising older kids, your relationship became the thing that keeps everything else running instead of something worth nurturing itself.

When "Fine" Isn't Fine

Everything looks good from the outside—you’re managing, the kids are happy, life is moving forward. But inside, you feel empty, disconnected, or just… meh. As a certified kallah teacher, I understand that sometimes the missing pieces are the most intimate ones. Together, we’ll explore what’s underneath that “fine” and rebuild genuine connection in every area of your marriage.

Fire vs. Ice

One of you wants to hash it out right now, the other needs space to think. One of you gets louder when upset, the other goes completely silent. You’re not fighting about the dishes or the schedule—you’re fighting about how to fight. Your conflict styles are so different that you end up in a whole separate argument about the argument itself. Enter Shalom Bayis. Time to learn each other’s language so you can actually resolve things instead of just creating new problems.

The Nest is Empty, Now What?

The kids are grown, maybe married themselves. The house is quieter, your schedule is lighter—and suddenly you’re looking at each other like “So… now what?” You built a beautiful family together, but somewhere along the way, you forgot to keep building your marriage. This is where you rediscover each other (not as mom and dad, but as the people you were before all that) and create the marriage you actually want for this next chapter.

Testimonials

I started doing the two-minute nightly check-in you suggested, and it shifted everything. Our home doesn’t feel so tense anymore. I’m look forward to those few minutes all day.

– Leah M., Flatbush

Miriam, thank you for helping me stop feeling like I was the only one trying. The way you showed me how to say things without blame actually landed. My husband began to respond differently, and I feel less alone.

– Shani K., Lakewood

Working with Miriam helped me find words I didn’t have before. I can bring up hard things now without feeling like I’m starting a fight, and we’re finally talking instead of shutting down.

– Naomi T., Monsey

The small changes Miriam suggested didn’t feel like a big project, but they added up. The tools that didn’t feel cheesy or overwhelming, and our connection feels more real again.

– Tova B., Baltimore

Miriam, thank you for teaching me how to pause instead of react. I feel steadier, and our disagreements don’t derail us like they used to.

– Devora S., Lawrence
