What if your relationship struggles were actually doorways to deeper connection? Aaron and Greer, the heart behind Intimacy for Couples, dive deep into what truly transforms relationships from mundane to transformational.

Their journey began unconventionally—as friends for a year before romance entered the picture, allowing them to establish radical honesty without the expectations and attachments that often complicate partnerships. When they finally came together romantically, Aaron was thrust into a profound identity crisis, shifting from "solo bachelor" to suburban dad virtually overnight. Meanwhile, Greer navigated ending her previous marriage while parenting two young children. This crucible of challenge became the fertile soil from which their relationship philosophy blossomed.

At the core of their approach is individual shadow work—the courageous exploration of unconscious patterns driving our behaviours. Aaron vulnerably shares how burnout forced him to confront deep-seated "not-enoughness" and learn to receive love based on who he is rather than what he accomplishes. Greer reveals how her father's illness catalysed her commitment to radical truth-telling, creating a partnership where honesty trumps comfort.

Their practical tools transform abstract concepts into actionable wisdom. They introduce somatic awareness—tracking body sensations during difficult conversations—as a concrete pathway through emotional storms. Their simple phrase "I choose to come back to love" serves as a pattern-interrupter during conflicts. Perhaps most revolutionary is their approach to forgiveness: "Most of the time, forgiveness comes with realising there's nothing to forgive." When we truly understand another's conditioning and perspective, judgment naturally dissolves.

Rather than avoiding triggers, they invite couples to use them as opportunities for healing. By witnessing each other's inner children and wounds in safe containers, relationships develop a compassion that fundamentally transforms daily interactions. This approach allows for both individual missions and deep partnership—proving that true intimacy doesn't require enmeshment, but thrives when two whole people choose to grow together.
