After more than 30 years of marriage, relationship coach Jenn Gerlitz understands the challenges couples face when the initial spark begins to fade. Now she’s channeling that experience into helping other women transform their marriages through a new online course designed to create meaningful change.
The program, called The Intimacy Formula: The Secrets Happy Couples Use to Make Marriage Work, addresses a common struggle many long-term couples encounter: maintaining intimacy and connection as the years pass. Rather than accepting diminished passion as inevitable, Gerlitz, a member of International Association of Professional Relationship Coaches, teaches participants how to actively cultivate what she calls “purposeful love” in their relationships.
“The secret isn’t perfect love—it’s purposeful love. Learn to love on purpose, learn to fight with respect, and you’ll unlock a marriage that lasts, deepens, and dazzles for a lifetime,” Gerlitz explains.
The relationship coaching program focuses on practical strategies that participants can implement immediately. The curriculum covers essential skills including how to reignite lost passion, communicate more effectively, and handle conflicts constructively while maintaining mutual respect.
What sets this approach apart is its emphasis on intentionality rather than hoping for spontaneous romantic moments. Gerlitz teaches that lasting marriages require conscious effort and specific techniques that many couples are never taught.
The seven-day timeframe for seeing initial results reflects the program’s focus on actionable steps rather than abstract concepts. Participants learn concrete methods for improving their daily interactions and rebuilding the emotional connection that may have weakened over time.
For women feeling disconnected from their partners or struggling with the routine nature of long-term relationships, the course offers a structured path forward. The online format allows participants to work through the material at their own pace while implementing changes in real-time within their marriages.
Gerlitz’s three decades of personal experience in marriage inform her teaching approach. She understands firsthand the evolution relationships undergo and the work required to maintain fulfillment and satisfaction year after year.
The Intimacy Formula course represents a shift from traditional marriage counseling by empowering individuals to create change independently. Rather than requiring both partners to participate, the program teaches women how their own actions and mindset shifts can positively influence the entire relationship dynamic.
As more couples seek alternatives to conventional therapy, online relationship education programs are gaining traction. The accessibility and privacy of digital courses appeal to those who might hesitate to seek in-person counseling.
For women ready to move beyond feeling stuck in their marriages, Gerlitz’s coaching approach offers a practical roadmap. By learning to love with intention and purpose, participants discover they can reignite passion and build deeper connections regardless of how long they’ve been married.
