Marriages often fail because both the men and women start the relationship in ‘perceived advantage’ over the other. This advantage often translates into a ‘mommy-ship’ rather than relationship. The man begins to view his partner as a mother – authoritarian figure and the woman begins to view her partner as a son – inadequate. This is exacerbated when the couple has children and the parents ‘cheat’ on their marriage by directing their love energy towards their children, instead of each other. The passion wanes and the intimacy disappears.

Anthony Santen provides marriage counseling, individual counseling, divorce prevention, life coaching and training from Toronto, Canada. His main focus is on Divorce Prevention through counseling with the couple and individually. He is the creator of the Path Within® Program and a faculty member with the National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH). Anthony Santen teaches in the methods of facilitating change and mind/body connection to audiences from all over the world.
