As a young therapist, Dr. David Mars went into couples therapy looking for help. Instead, he found that the models offered seemed to make matters worse by unnecessarily drawing out and evoking the vicious cycle of distress. He found that instead of offering help and support, most couples therapy sessions focused on what is wrong in a relationship instead of what is right.

This set into motion four decades of dedicating himself to developing a couples treatment model that works in a kind, effective, pleasurable and time-efficient way.
